"very little regard for anything outside their headspace"
thank you for articulating the behavior I continually see in my day-to-day. It's the little things: walking slowly 3 and 4 abreast on a sidewalk at a snail pace; suddenly stopping to take a selfie in the middle of a busy place; parking a bike/scooter/etc in the middle of a path; parents prioritizing their kid's experience like everyone else isn't even present (blocking / taking inordinately long time / hogging use)... It really seems like a lot of people fail to recognize they actually take up physical space in the world, and in doing so affect everyone around them. I really try to be aware of the impact my personal physical behaviors have on the greater world.
I think most people continue to learn to be considerate as they age. I have also seen large changes once someone becomes a parent. I certainly remember some anti-social things I did after my teens that make me cringe now!
Perhaps it could be measured if we can find an activity that affects others, and that doesn't change too drastically over time - maybe driving behaviour?
