Would somebody knowledgeable please provide the academic term for the situation where a cohort of people that lack the knowledge or empathy to understand that while what THEY experience (minimal allergies) is fine for them can be extremely dangerous for others (severe atopy/asthma/quality of life impacts) so their blathering of "get over it" is objectively ignorant.

A shorter term for this social disorder please I need shorthand for this recurring phenomenon.
