Powerless to remain independent as a neglected child
They are too weak and powerless to keep their independence. This is often due to having been neglected as a child. They haven’t enough feeling of self-worth to give them the power to be themselves. They become aloof and distant in order to hold on to an inner feeling of autonomy because they can’t maintain it in the outer world. They become indifferent as it’s no use for them to do anything, as it will have no effect. The develop the attitude of a passive onlooker, but inside the feel injustice has been done to them. They resign aggrieved. They hold in their pain and even forget it.

Then they will feel as if something could happen anytime, but they don’t know what and from where. Then they will behave in a manner indifferent, distant and aloof, as if they aren't touched by the situation. It’s a gloomy feeling that makes them feel powerless to do anything. So they act indifferent and can even become ironic.

In their begging they have a kind of indifference, as if they aren't interested in whether something will be given to them or not. It’s a strange combination of being selfish and totally indifferent.
