hardhearted
This term describes a profound emotional sterility or a deliberate refusal to be moved by the suffering of others. It carries a heavy negative connotation, suggesting a permanent or ingrained character flaw rather than a temporary mood of indifference. While similar to cold or callous, it specifically evokes the image of a heart that has become hardened like stone, implying a loss of natural human warmth.
In usage, it is frequently applied to figures of authority, antagonists in literature, or individuals who make ruthless decisions without regard for human cost. It is more formal than calling someone cold and is typically used to describe a personality trait rather than a specific reaction to a single event.
