Nine-year-old akashia announces to her mother, "i am smart, nice, and friendly and i am so good at painting that one day i am going to sell lots of pictures." akashia is referring to her _____. industry egocentrism latency self-concept
The two options which sound promising are "self-concept" - she has a concept of self and "egocentrism" - the excessive focus on the self and the inability to take others into account.
I think that the best answer is "egocentrism". She thinks of herself only in positive terms and does not question whether other people would be interested in her paintings - so she does not take others into account.
