Oh. I see. I thought someone wanted to communicate that “no time to smile” and “you should respect other people” thing to me which, eh, causes the opposite reaction.
If that is really, honestly the emotion and context implied from the word, I am going to ask you, as a non-native speaker, what should I replace it to refer to somebody “obnoxious”+“more normal than you”+“more social than you”+“consciously ignorant of details and proud of that”+“watching TV news”+“thinking one can be morally correct while logically incorrect”+“oblivious of their discourse not being the only one”+“judgemental” and other unpleasant traits of many people, connected to arrogance, ignorance and lack of empathy, but with the implication of those traits being hardly avoidable due to lack of experiences those “less normal” of us had.
I think it would be more helpful if you directly learned that most other people live much richer inner lives than you give credit for.
And frankly, MOST of the human race falls into some of your categories at points, especially the ‘ignorant of details’.
It’s better for your mental health not to stereotype too much or you’ll end up a misanthrope like me.
Alternatively: you could use the phrase ‘Knowlessman’, as it was a legit derogatory label back in the day, and is pretty clear about its meaning right on the face.

It usually turns out to be less, because I tend to become overly excited about people. Anyway, you can’t know what I give them credit for, I’m only talking about one part of their inner lives.

All of it, it’s a relative thing. For, like I said, a medical professional I am an example of <word I’m looking for> often.

That’s true, but not always avoidable. We need sometimes to put our brain into a certain state to solve tasks. And we can’t switch it back for everything else immediately.

It doesn’t quite grasp the part about deceiving oneself that some profession is much simpler than it really is, or some area of life, and so on, and reinforcing that with some tribal feeling. But OK.
