armchair psychiatrist of akp, is there a term for this?

I should read more on it
But the person I'm thinking of, it's not that they don't just undrestand. It's that they can't even imagine there might be another preference or outlook. And it's not in a malicious way, it's really like some link is missing.

I always file those people away as delusional in my brain, lmao.
But, I think the word centen used is probably more accurate.
But forreal, there are some people on here I do not even try to engage in a logical conversation with. Like no matter the facts provided, they don't seem to understand. Not even talking about an opinion based discussion because that's whatever. But one where legitimate information is provided in spades to counter their perspective. At that point, I just figure our brains are wired differently and agree to disagree.
Also I will add that I know sometimes I am very "loud and wrong" occasionally.
But, I have no problem admitting when that's the case.

Not being able to understand another persons point of view or being unable to see things from anothers perpective can be an occuring symptom in Autism. Usually autistic people generally struggle with Empathy, the ability to feel for someone or to understand why someone feels the way they feel. Autism also makes it very hard for these people to understand or detect emotion or why certain situations trigger emotions. They might not realise you're angry although it clearly shows in your face or don't understand why the sensitive thing they said hurt you.
I worked with an autistic person for a short time and they often struggle with understanding peoples needs and can only see their own. It's not malicious, they don't want to hurt you, but they just can't. It's usually very uncomfortable for them, because they usually get misunderstood.
Delusions can also cause people to perceive something as stronger or real that actually isn't. Like thinking someone is the best mother when in reality they're abusive or being convinced that Actor A is in love with you and sends you signals through their films. Delusions are a symptom often seen in schizophrenia. People often think, Schizophrenia is only limited to people hearing voices or having a split personality. In reality, these extreme cases are very rare. This mental disorder can cause you to halucinate, perceive simple conversations as frightning or threatening, including your opinion on something they like.
But usually if someone just doesn't understand that what the love is not the best thing in the world, it's egoism or narcism and has more to do with pride than with a psych problem.

Hmmm undiagnosed autism certainly sounds like a possibility

This is someone I deal with in everyday life
Based on reading more I believe they might be autistic
-
People who are incapable of understanding that others might have different preferences.
sounds like half the people on AKP
-
Words that come to my mind would be
- Selfish
- Narcissistic

-
Narcissistic my god I love it
-
Is it a specific topic or just in general
-
I thought of egocentrism as well. It's a common trait in young children because children generally lack the ability to view a situation from somebody else's perspective. There's nothing malicious about it, they simply can't understand different points of view (yet). It's an ability we aquire as we mature. Except some don't.
