In the two sentences outlined, the word closest in meaning to insensitive is thoughtless. Let me outline their different definitions to confirm this:

insensitive: is an adjective meaning " showing or having no concern for others", while

thoughtless: has several meanings, but the one closest to insensitive is "being inconsiderate".
