If you've ever studied cognitive development - the age ranges are wrong. Most adults are still at the developmental level that they were supposedly supposed to grow out of around 10.

I find that thinking of it that way actually helps me accept it - to realize that they're mental children and that it's not their fault and that they're not doing it on purpose. They really just don't know any better. They're not choosing to be incredibly selfish and shutting off the world beyond their little ego on purpose. They literally can't not be selfish assholes. They're missing the tools to see outside of their ego.
