Antipathy
The things you feel you control are just a small subset of the data your brain processes. The rest we habitually treat as ambient, try to convince ourselves it’s meaningless to us. It isn’t.
The brain prioritizes it, looks for stresses and disturbances and instinctively tries to steer around them without engaging your conscious awareness of problem solving.
You aren’t actually indifferent to anything though consciously it may seem so. Your body and neurons don’t have a neutral state. You either have an approach or an avoidance response. Your entire experience of any place you are in is coloured by those.
“My tastes in music tend to favor anything my kids don’t like, out of natural antipathy amplified by a sort of malicious glee.” Gregory Maguire
