inconsiderateness
Lacking social awareness
Inconsiderateness is the quality of failing to think about or care for the feelings and needs of others.
Where thoughtfulness anticipates how actions might affect someone, inconsiderateness plows ahead without such reflection.
His inconsiderateness in playing loud music at midnight upset the whole building.
The word is somewhat formal; in everyday speech, people more often say someone is being inconsiderate rather than accusing them of inconsiderateness.
