indifference

lack of interest / apathy / detachment
[U] Uncountable

This term conveys a cold, detached state of being where a person is neither attracted nor repelled by a situation. It suggests a void of emotion rather than a presence of hostility, creating a sense of psychological distance that can feel more hurtful than active dislike because it implies the subject is not even worth the effort of a reaction.

Meanings

Noun

A lack of interest, concern, or sympathy.
