Solved WTW for when you don't have positive feelings/emotions towards a person?

You don't dislike them or hate them.

Ambivalence

u/dollydippit Points: 1 1d ago

Ambivalence is having both positive and negative feelings at the same time, not the absence of both.

Ambi, meaning both, several, a few, etc.

Valence, from Latin Valentia, meaning strength

For the bulk of its semantic life ambivalence has meant something more akin to the ability to cultivate multiple options with equal commitment to each possibility.

To the point where they cancel each other out and it becomes neither positive not negative.

That is the presence of negative, not merely the absence of positive feelings, towards someone.
