Indifference is a good one. I’d say apathy.
No ice cream or milkshake? Really? I could have both, at the same time. But then again I have a serious sweet tooth!
I loved reading your answers and learning a little more about you, there were some great questions/preferences to answer 😊

Thanks Caz! I can’t eat dairy which explains no ice cream or milkshakes. I appreciate there are plant based alternatives but I’m generally not a fan,
