How to use "Indifferent" in context?
People are often described as "indifferent" when it comes to things that don't directly affect them. This can be a cause for resentment or fighting, as people feel like they're not being taken seriously or that they're not being valued. However, in some cases, indifference can be a sign of strength. People who are indifferent towards the opinions of others can be more objective, and rarely let their emotions interfere with their decisions. This can be a valuable trait in a competitive environment, as it allows people to work towards their goals without getting bogged down by others' concerns.
