Egocentric

adjective/ee-go-SEN-trik/

Meaning

Egocentric means thinking only about yourself and your own needs.

In context

Her egocentric plan helped nobody but herself, so the group soon fell apart.

Remember it

Ego means 'I' and centric means 'centred' — placing yourself at the centre of everything.

Use it well

Use egocentric for someone stuck on their own view, a bit stronger than just 'selfish'.
