Isn't it commonly asked: "How do you feel about that? Good, bad, or indifferent?" Seems I've heard that multiple times before. All the answers so far, though, show how hard it is to really give the O.P. what's being asked for: a noun that describes the person. Adjectives abound, but that single noun appears elusive. | |

| Sep 8, 2013 at 10:29 | comment | added | user49727 | Yes I entirely agree. 'Insouciant' was the first word that sprang to mind. I think all three have the same connotations and I would prefer either of these to the other suggestions - because the others have predominantly negative connotations. | |
| Sep 8, 2013 at 10:26 | comment | added | J.R. | I like nonchalant better than insouciant. I'm glad your dictionary entry gave a couple other good suggestions (unconcerned isn't bad, either); it saved me from having to write my own answer. | |
