unthoughtful
Not mindful, careless
Unthoughtful means not showing consideration for others or lacking careful reflection.
Someone unthoughtful forgets birthdays, interrupts conversations, or makes decisions without weighing consequences: It was unthoughtful of him to schedule the meeting during her lunch break.
The word overlaps with thoughtless but sounds slightly softer, more about omission than carelessness.
