You should change your self-centered way of thinking.
Related words 自己中心 is a more formal, psychological term for self-centered behavior, whereas 勝手 is the everyday word for acting as one pleases without regard for others.
自己中心 is a stronger, more critical term for being self-centered, while マイペース in its negative sense softens the same idea into 'doing one's own thing'.
Etymology A yojijukugo composed of 自己 (self) and 中心 (center), literally 'self-centered'. The exact historical origin is uncertain, but it follows a common pattern of Sino-Japanese compound formation.
