Seeming unconcerned Keep your facial expressions as neutral as possible. Being indifferent gives the impression that you don't care one way or the other. To maintain that appearance, avoid showing your emotions on your face. The next time someone asks you about your feelings, say "I don't feel like talking about it." Change the subject every time it arises. Avoid discussing topics that will cause you to feel something - this includes love, hate, and pain. If someone brings up a topic that might make you feel something, change the subject immediately. It's best not to dwell on things that make you feel something. Indifference is also useful in relationships where you don't want to hurt each other's feelings. You can remain indifferent to what others do or don't do. This makes it easier for both of you to stay close even when problems arise. Finally, indifference is helpful in situations where you have no control over how things turn out. For example, if you try hard but fail at something you learn from your failure rather than feeling frustrated or disappointed. Indifference allows you to retain your positive attitude toward life while still acknowledging reality. Indifference is an important tool for achieving many goals in life. With practice, you can use this trait to overcome obstacles that would otherwise keep you trapped in your feelings.
