Concept in Definition ABC

A egocentric It's that one individual who believes himself to be the center of the world, and for instance, everything he does and says he considers should be the object of attention of the rest of the people. Putting it in simpler terms, the egocentric places his personality in the center of everyone's attention and then everything that happens to him and what he likes and needs will always be above the needs of the rest of the people. For the egocentric it is impossible that there is another alternative different from the one he proposes, since everything he says and thinks will be the only valuable thing.

Generally, the egocentric, is not at all well seen in society, even more, it is usually rejected by most people, precisely because of that lack of consideration for others and that excessive estimate for himself and everything related to him.

Meanwhile, it is very easy to recognize the egocentric in a community since he will be especially selfish, arrogant and with very little understanding and consideration for others.

Now, it is worth noting that although it is acceptable and necessary for a person to car value in order to be better standing before life and society, it is not good that that car assessment reaches exacerbated limits, because there, yes, when he considers himself hyper, he will somehow lose the consideration for around him and he will end up becoming an unkind and pleasant individual to interact with in the society.

Of course, the main affected by the extension of this characteristic in people is the ideal to build a more just and supportive society, although there is also another great affected person who is the egocentric himself, because it will cost him a lot to be accepted and it will also lead him to a isolation total of his surroundings that will make him feel very lonely.

The inordinate elevation of the self is known as egocentrism.
The opposite concept of egocentric is that of altruistic, which is that person who is characterized by procuring good for others without asking for anything in exchange for it.
