Being self-centered

[Jason The Great]

So there s this girl in my class. She s pretty and everything. But I kinda feel she is self centered. By looking at her you might notice that something is always troubling her. Does it mean she has some sort of problem in family? And how should I approach her?

[Desuetude]

The definition of self-cented is that a person believes that the world revolves around them and they don't really care about the problems of other people. From what you've said about her I'm not sure that's the word you're looking for?

I'm not really sure what you're asking. Do you want to get to know the girl? Ask her out? You won't know if there's something wrong unless you ask and asking a stranger about things as personal as problems with their family isn't really socially acceptable. I'd suggest just trying to get to know her first. Say hello, maybe ask her about something to do with the class to strike up a conversation and then find out her interests so you'll have mutual interests to talk about and the conversation won't run dry. Just don't think too much into it and get to know her as a friend, once that happens, if she's having problems then she should open up to you once she starts to feel more comfortable around you.

My bad. By self centered I meant she is kind live in Her own world.

Ahh, no I understand you now. I guess you'd say she's a daydreamer then, we also have the saying 'away with the fairies' which is basically what you're describing.

the word you're looking for is introverted. and no, that's not necessarily a sign that she's dealing with anything bad, some people just have that kind of personality.

Do inquire from and dont make conclusions from the looks they might give a wrong impression about her

Haha, that doesn't mean that she is self-centered. Think of a self-centered as more selfish. She could just be a day-dreamer, very shy, or introverted (she prefers to be alone). Maybe you should just try and be her friend and know a little more about her.

[Microcosm]

I think the proper way to approach an introverted individual that you are determined to befriend is to be extremely careful. Sometimes, they can be kind of sensitive; however, other times they can open up as soon as you start talking to them.

Try not to force her to be your friend or anything and just be casual about it. That's really all I can tell you, but I hope it helps.

I got confused too at first by what you meant by self centered. If she's that absorbed with what's going on at home, ect, she might not want to discuss things right away. So don't take it personally if you ask and at first the only response you get is "nothing's wrong". But good to let her know you're open to talking.
