Consider self-absorbed (“Overly concerned about oneself, to the point of ignoring the feelings of others”); inconsiderate (“Not considerate of others, thoughtless”); egotistical (“Believing oneself to be better and more important than others”), and arrogant (“Having excessive pride in oneself, often with contempt for others”).

Exhibiting a lack of attention; not attentive
Using neutral terminology encourages you to see communication as a two-way street. Referring to someone with using a negative term implies that it's all their fault and may not encourage you to try to resolve the issue.
