ambivalent/indifferent

No, these two words are not the same. I don't care what you say or what you've been told.

If you are "ambivalent," you may feel as if you are uncertain or are being pulled in two directions. A man may be ambivalent about trading in his old car, especially if he considers it an old friend. . .unless he knows for a fact it's a piece of junk and that it's long since been ready for the scrap heap.

You're "indifferent" if it's impossible for you to care less. If it didn't matter to you whether Barack Obama or John McCain became president, then you were "indifferent." By the way, why didn't you care who became President of the United States? What's wrong with you?

If you have to be one of the two, be ambivalent. At least it shows you care, but don't be indifferent about my blog. It hurts my feelings.
