Like someone might follow local weather and local news, but nothing global.

    I think I’d need more context here. I want to say willfully ignorant.

    However, I’m also someone who keeps up to date on local things, and casually keeps up to date on world stuff. I am in the know enough to be a well informed voter - but I also don’t want to keep track of the daily death count in Ukraine or in Gaza or else I’d turn into a puddle of anxiety and not be able to leave my house. So I pick and choose what I’m going to be vocal on. I had to go to therapy to learn that I don’t need to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders, so if that’s your friend then I’d say it’s a good reason.

      Willfully ignorant might be it, I was thinking there might be a more defined term for it.
