Explanation
If someone is indifferent, they don’t show any particular interest, emotion, or concern about something. They neither like nor dislike it—they simply don’t care. This can be due to lack of awareness, interest, or emotional connection. It’s often seen negatively, especially when a person is expected to care or act and they don’t.
