I think SunnyD said it better - it's taking the emotions out rather than apathy. Apathy is defined as state of indifference, or the suppression of emotions such as concern, excitement, motivation and passion. An apathetic individual has an absence of interest or concern to emotional, social, or physical life. They may also exhibit an insensibility or sluggishness.
There is caring, but it's done without the emotions. Kind of sounds like an oxymoron. I guess it's more of a neutral position when interacting.
Ok, that's the word lesson of the day.
