Read time 2 minutes. SexyIndifference: All the effectiveness of dislike—without all that extra.
Jason Bateman says it all the time on Smartless.
“Sexy indifference.”
You’re cool. You’re present.
No applause expected, no applause required.
That’s SexyIndifference.
It’s presence without performance.
But it’s warm neutrality.
Not cold detachment.
It’s the opposite of trying to act like you’re not trying.
It’s just… not trying.
