Detailed explanation-1: -As adolescents reflect on their own thoughts, two distorted images of the relationship between self and other appear, the imaginary audience and the personal fable. Both result from gains in perspective-taking.
Detailed explanation-2: -“The imaginary audience is the adolescent’s belief that those around them are as concerned and focused on their appearance as they themselves are” (Schwartz, Maynard, & Uzelac, 2008, p. 441). Elkind thought that the imaginary audience contributed to the self-consciousness that occurs during early adolescence.
Detailed explanation-3: -The personal fable and the imaginary audience are examples of adolescent egocentrism. The personal fable occurs when adolescents feel their thoughts and experiences are highly unique. The imaginary audience is when adolescents feel they are the center of everyone’s attention and all eyes are on them.
