self-centeredness

Self-centeredness is a personality trait characterized by an excessive focus on oneself and one's own needs, feelings, and desires, often to the detriment of others. Individuals who are self-centered tend to prioritize their own interests and may struggle to empathize with or consider the perspectives of those around them. This behavior can hinder relationships and social interactions, as it can lead to a lack of support or understanding for others' experiences. In broader contexts, self-centeredness can manifest in various aspects of life, including personal relationships, work environments, and community engagement.
