I just think it's as simple as "how your mama raised ya". Assholes beget assholes and empathic and kind people raise their children to be the same. Social media promotes being self-centered, but in general people are raised to be what they'll be.
An egotistical mindset is in many ways essential to survival at the biological and psychological level. Even people who aren't giant d-bags aren't immune to it and it's not always a bad thing. It's detailed and deep and quite interesting. My apologies if I made it sound simple and negative.
