Apathy- lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern. numbness. We can say all day long that we don’t care, that it doesn’t affect us, or that there’s nothing we can do about it, but the truth is, we do care, and it deeply affects us, but we just don’t know what we could possibly do about it. So, we go numb. Because the emotions are too much to handle, we are overwhelmed, and we can’t see a way out from under the weight of it all.
