Such a weird take. Just say excuse me or I need to get through. Very easy. People aren't mind readers and they aren't purposely trying to make your life harder.

Oh, now I get it. They just don't even notice or acknowledge the existence of other people unless someone reminds them that such mythical beings exist.

Yeah, you're right, I'm much more sympathetic to them now. They're not mean, they're just amazingly self-centered and oblivious!

It's interesting that you see someone having a talk and not being a 100 % aware of their surroundings at that moment as "self-centred". Believing that everyone all the time should be aware of you and move out of the way for you in a hurry so you aren't inconvenienced for even a second also comes off as quite self-centred.

It's not just me. If I was literally the only other person in the store, sure, I could understand that, they thought they were alone, they weren't expecting to encounter anyone else.

How the fuck do you just stop being aware of an entire seething mass of other humans flowing around you?
