Not being aware of others and how your actions and being affect them.

Very simple example: fuckers who walk towards you on a sidewalk and don’t even blink (edit: I meant think but this is funny nonsense lol) about moving an inch to the side to avoid hitting you. Like looking straight past you not budging even a bit…

You see it's a game of chicken. You blink you lose, you budge you lose.

Recognising people other than you exist is the ultimate cowards move forreal forreal

Even if you do bump into them they still act like no other person exists besides them, y’know?

Or when there is a group of people walking all side to side covering the whole pathway and you walk towards them, but they don't move aside, as if they expect you to fly over them or just dissappear from the earth.

Then you stand your ground and they look at you like you are at fault.
