The word indifferent is the most widely used term to account for that individual who is characterized by not showing taste or inclination for anything, or failing that, one who stands out for not showing Dear or interest in another person or something specific.
It should be noted that this lack of interest that someone shows can be an ingrained characteristic and recurrent on the personality of someone or it may be motivated by some special situation that triggers it and therefore does not manifest itself at all times.
For example, when an individual experiences a bad experience with another, which culminates in a serious confrontation between the two, it is frequent that after this event, if an encounter arises, the two or one of them is indifferent towards the other.
It is also frequent to use the word to express when it does not matter that something is or is done in one way or another.
The state of mind that remains in the indifferent person is popularly known as
indifference and it will stand out because whoever is in it feels neither interest nor repulsion for something or someone, that is, it will not demonstrate a positive state such as that of emotionNor is it a state considered negative, such is the case of repulsion.On psychology, when an individual permanently demonstrates a state of mind with the features aforementioned, we will already speak of a problem of social relations, called apathy. In this situation, the person does not show any type of response to emotional, social, or physical stimuli, and it is considered as the simplest level that depression presents.
Among the variety of synonyms presented by this term, that of disinterested, without a doubt, it stands as the most used. Meanwhile, the word that directly opposes this term is that of excited, which on the contrary to indifferent refers to that person who is easy to move and that every time he feels moved he expresses it easily.
