Is there a psychological term for self-bias?
Like how we rate our own suffering as greater than that of others.
Or how we think it's probably fine if we fudge a little, but judge others for it.
Or, how we think we'd be doing better if we were in other people's situations, but rarely the opposite.
Or how most of us have a much higher tolerance for inconveniencing an unknown stranger than for the inverse.
Does this have a name? (Or am I just looking for a fancy term for self-centeredness?)
