Away, distant, uninterested, incurious, and careless are some synonyms for indifferent. While all of these phrases indicate "not displaying or experiencing interest," indifferent suggests a lack of inclination, preference, or prejudice. It also means lacking judgment. Indifferent people usually don't like one thing more than another; they are not attracted to anything in particular. They can be considered neutrals in terms of emotion. Although they may appear that way, indifferent people do have feelings and they just don't show it much. To be honest, I am not particularly interested in sports. However, because of my job, I have to watch some games on television. My boss understands this and doesn't require me to know everything about soccer before I start working here. She just wants me to get things done so she can save money by hiring less-experienced staff. My mother is an indifferent person. I used to think it was because she didn't have any interest in anything, but now I know that she just never learned how to display her emotions. My father died when I was young so I don't remember him ever expressing any kind of feeling. He was a truck driver who worked long hours and didn't spend much time with us. My mom has never been married again so she's alone most of the time.
