Quote by Elaine N. Aron
Thinking more than others about our own thoughts is not self-centeredness. It means that if asked what's on our mind, we are less likely to mention being aware of the world around us, and more likely to mention our inner reflections. But we are less likely to mention thinking about other people.
Summary
This quote suggests that being introspective and thinking deeply about one's own thoughts does not necessarily indicate self-centeredness. Instead, it highlights that when asked about our thoughts, we commonly mention our internal musings rather than our consciousness of the external world. However, the quote implies that we are less prone to expressing thoughts about others, indicating a potential discrepancy in our focus of thought between ourselves and other people.
