Yes. Apathy is the force that drives me. Also, depression.

I used to be apathetic but I couldn't be bothered holding onto that first vowel.

biko

I'll tell you some other time.

RachaelVO

Well, I used to be apathetic, not anymore... now I don't think I give a sh1t

Apathy is really just depression... except you can't admit it.

Kasabian

I was so apathetic once that I couldn't be bothered being apathetic.

lawd yes, I can avoid things forever if it makes me feel bad, I don't even care to mention examples coz I just don't want to go there.

Apathy is being too lazy to be depressed. I dont have the energy to be sad

I find Four Star a lot better than Apathy.

apathy is realising your mortgage is due today and not tomorrow. having to cancel your hair dressing appointment as a result and gathering all your spare change, putting on a hoodie and going up to the offy to buy a bottle of vodka.
apathy is not dealing with problems. apathy is avoiding them.

Someone truly apathetic would order on line. Walking to the offo requires too much effort

I think apathy is often due to a lack of intellect. Of course the world is going to appear bland and mundane if you lack the requisite mental faculties to allow you to truly engage with something. In my experience boredom, something which goes hand in hand with apathy, is rarely due to the poverty of the environment but instead is due to an individual's inability to find that which is interesting. For example, the internet: it holds more information than all of the libraries of the world combined, but some people can't get past their friend's status updates on Facebook or the latest videos of the X-Factor on Youtube. When these limited resources are used up the person becomes bored. However, somebody who is capable of engaging with a lecture series on quantum mechanics, which could be found just as easily, could be transfixed, utterly fascinated, by the worlds of new information available to them.

In short, the world isn't boring, bored people are.

That's all well and good if you're living a life of leisure. For a lot of people their minds are generally filled with more immediate concerns.

I totally disagree! Being apathetic does not speak for your intellect and boredom is not the same thing as apathy at all!
I wouldn't call myself stupid but I could just be so affected by something that it makes me detached from whatever I'm doing, trying to study for example, it's not that the subject is boring, it's like you're almost physically and mentally unable to pay attention because of whatever is bothering you. It's something that builds up over a long time, it's not a fleeting boredom.

Two weeks ago and that reference would have passed me by. That's either weird timing or a common reference that I've never noticed before.
