Apathy, also referred to as indifference, is a lack of feeling, emotion, interest, and/or concern about something. It is a state of indifference, and/or the suppression of emotions such as concern, excitement, motivation, or passion. An apathetic individual has an absence of interest in or concern about emotional, social, spiritual, philosophical, virtual, or physical life and the world. Apathy can also be defined as a person's lack of goal orientation. Apathy falls in the less extreme spectrum of diminished motivation, with abulia in the middle and akinetic mutism being more extreme than both
Apathy is a lack of feeling, emotion, interest, and concern about things—a state where someone experiences suppressed or absent motivation, excitement, and passion across emotional, social, spiritual, or physical aspects of life. It matters because it represents a significant diminishment in how people engage with goals and the world around them, ranging from mild indifference to more severe forms of motivational loss.
