Self absorption is an issue that is often seen in the aged and recognized in psychology (in some). Often they are only faintly aware of your presence and would not understand if you got angry or pointed out they were doing something amiss. Of course, most don't suffer this problem but, I'm always careful and forgiving with people since I'm never quite sure who they are or what they may be going through.....and what faux pas I may have or just be on the verge of committing.
That said....when there is a blatant event and someone may be harmed...I have a loud voice.

I think most people who block isles at groceries are simply not aware of what they're doing. Most are good folks who are simply caught up in their shopping...oblivious to much of what goes on around them for a moment. They're not bad people. A courteous "nudge" will usually bring them around.

HimandMe: You are sterotyping. Self absorption is an issue that begins at a very young age and stays with a person until the end. "Can't help themselves because there is nobody else"...sugar pie honey.

Its like the self absorbed Talk show host "Ok guest enough about me now let's talk about you" Here's my first question "what do you think of me?"

The entire entertainment industry is dedicated to a mutual understanding that they are all self absorbed and as outsiders we should all think and agree with them. Especially when it comes to their personal work on how to save the world from whatever.
