ELI5: Why is it that bad singers cannot recognise themselves as out of tune or off key when everyone else can instantly hear it? Makes even less sense because a bad singer can pick out other bad singers without any issues, yet they fail to hear how bad they are.

I think it is because when you are listening to someone sing (or talk,...), you hear the sound conducted through air, however when you hear yourself, not only do you hear the sound that goes through air, but also through your own body (mainly bones). And since bones have different sound properties than air, the pitch is different and the result in your ears might be perfect, yet unbearable for others.
