Answer 2

The correct answers is option A, adolescent ego centrism

Step-by-step explanation:

Adolescent ego centrism is a common problem in the youth of present time specially the teenagers who believe that their every set of action/work is being noticed by others or they have this misconception in their mind that every one in the society is noticing their behavior and appearance. There are two major parts of an adolescent ego centrism :
