When an adolescent's newly sophisticated metacognitive capability causes him or her to become self-absorbed and believe that the world is focused on only him or her, this is called <u>b) adolescent egocentrism</u>.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Adolescent egocentrism is the term used by psychologist to describe the incapability of young people to differentiate between their perception of what people think about them and what others actually think in reality.
The adolescent egocentrism concept was expressed by the psychologist David Elkind. Adolescent egocentrism is found in children of age 10-14 years. They always think about what others will think about them. The young people consider themselves as center of attention and never focus on others views.

Hey there!
Erik Erikson developed and proposed 8 p<span>sychosocial stages of life. These, in order, are trust vs. mistrust, autonomy vs. shame, initiative vs. guilt, industry vs. inferiority, ego identity vs. role confusion, intimacy vs. isolation, generativity vs. stagnation, and ego integrity vs. despair.
It sounds like the last one, ego integrity vs. despair, is described in your problem. The last stage begins around maturity, or 65, and goes on until death. At this stage, people are often retiring or are retired, and start pondering the things they didn't do with their lives. This leads to regret about not doing certain things that they once hoped to do, or maybe didn't even realize they wanted to do at the time. They think that it's too late now, and start feeling dissatisfied with their life, as your question describes.
