oblivious

Totally not noticing

Oblivious means unaware or unmindful, typically of something that others notice: She was oblivious to the stares she was getting.

The word often implies self-absorption or inattention rather than genuine ignorance.

Someone oblivious to danger isn't necessarily uninformed—they're just not paying attention to it.
