The personal fable is the adolescent's belief that he or she is highly special and unlike anyone else who has ever walked the earth. Colloquially, these individuals are known as "special snowflakes." In other words, the adolescent thinks that since others are so obviously fascinated by him (adolescent egocentrism), he must be a unique individual.
Unfortunately, the belief can have serious consequences.
In particular, the personal fable can cause a tween or teen to believe that nothing bad could possibly happen to someone as exceptional as herself. In other words, since she's so special, she must be invulnerable.
Some research has shown that belief in the personal fable and one's invulnerability is directly connected to common adolescent risk-taking behaviors, such as promiscuous or unprotected sex, use of alcohol or illicit drugs, as well as physically dangerous acts, such as driving without a license or driving recklessly or while intoxicated.
Belief in the personal fable should not be confused with having high self-esteem. Tweens or teens with low self-esteem usually still hold a version of the personal fable.

<h3>What is the evolution of cognition?</h3>
Cognitive development is a branch of neuroscience and psychology that focuses on how a child develops in terms of language learning, perceptual abilities, conceptual resources, and other features of the fully formed adult brain.
The stages of a child's cognitive development are described by Piaget. Changes to the cognitive process and abilities occur during cognitive growth.
Children develop the fundamental abilities for creating good social connections during middle childhood, which is typically described as the ages of six to twelve.
