Agreed its why being very insecure is considered under the egocentric umbrella and why therapists will sometimes call people with anxiety egocentric. People get jumpy at that word because they think ego always means stuck up, but thats not even how it was initially used in psychology.

Being insecure is normal but to the point you think everyone is constantly thinking about you 24/7 is ridiculous and is self obsessed
