Adolescent in her early Formal Operational Thinking stages. |
35. I performed adolescent egocentrism when I experienced "imaginary audience" and "personal fable." I experienced "imaginary audience" when I had first started to get pimples. Thinking that everyone will look and comment on my pimples, I covered it with my bangs, even though my hair will not really make the pimples disappear (in fact, I think it made it worse). I looked "emo" because my bangs was hiding my eyes and face a lot.
As for "personal fable," I would always consider myself smarter and better than most of the students in my middle school because I would usually get higher grades and test scores than most of them.
