unreflectiveness
Lack of introspection
Unreflectiveness is the quality of not examining one's own thoughts, actions, or motives.
Someone displaying unreflectiveness moves through life without pausing to consider why they do what they do: His unreflectiveness about his own privilege made him a poor advocate.
The word often carries a critical edge, suggesting shallowness or lack of self-awareness.
