Question

Rick and jamie recently started dating. to commemorate their first month as a couple, rick surprised jamie when he picked her up at work in a rented limousine with floor-level tickets to a concert. after the show, rick was very upset because jamie would barely speak to him. jamie was also upset because she was planning on surprising rick with a quiet dinner at home. after two days of angry fighting, the couple broke up. what was likely at the root of this conflict?

Answer 1

The root of all this conflict is egocentrism.  It is having or regarding the self or the individual as the center of all things: an egocentric philosophy that ignores social causes. having little or no regard for interests, beliefs, or attitudes other than one's own.  It is being self-centered.
