A pessimist is someone who always considers negative outcomes of a situation, whereas an optimist always considers the positive outcomes. Is there a word for someone who, in any given situation, doesn’t care about the outcome at all?

This might not be quite what you are looking for, but as an extreme case:
Nihilist.
This stems from following nihilism (adapted from the OED):
Total rejection of prevailing religious beliefs, moral principles, laws, etc., often from a sense of despair and the belief that life is devoid of meaning.
The belief or theory that the world has no real existence; the rejection of all notions of reality.
A nihilist would not care about an outcome because it is entirely meaningless.
The word has some negative connotations from meaning 1 above, which may make it unsuitable for your particular purpose.

Insouciant
free from concern, worry or anxiety
Unconcerned, undisturbed; carefree and nonchalant
Origin:
1820–30; < French, equivalent to in- in-3 + souciant present participle of soucier to worry < Vulgar Latin *sollicītāre, for Latin sollicitāre to disturb; see solicitous
as suggested in the definitions the other words I would prefer to use are:
nonchalant
unconcerned
All of these words imply a carefree attitude in a good way and lack the negative connotations of having no feeling at all.

A fatalist. This does not just mean a person who thinks all things are fated; it has a derived meaning: a person with an attitude of indifference to outcome because of such a belief. An optimist hopes for the best; a pessimist fears the worst; a fatalist is resigned to what will be (regardless of hopes and fears). http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fatalism

In modern Internet parlance, such a person might be referred to as a «honey badger»:
This use of the term is based on this popular youtube video.

A person who cares not at all about anything «in any given situation», must surely be…a cadaver.
More seriously, there are also mugwumps, sloths, and bumps-on-a-log, all of which have some of the qualities you describe.

Insouciant is a word in both the French and English language for a person who does not care about anything. In French it can be both an adjective & a noun. I don’t see why one could not use it as a noun in English too. Such a person would be an insouciant. Such an noun is needed.

It’s not nice to meet someone who doesn’t care about others’ feelings or has no regard for others. To describe these people, you might find it difficult to pick a word out of thin air. This article will show you the best descriptive words to reference these people.
What Do You Call Someone Who Doesn’t Care About Others’ Feelings?
There are plenty of good words to describe someone who doesn’t care about others’ feelings. They include:
- Disregard
- Selfish
- Thoughtless
- Apathetic
- Oblivious
- Uncaring
- Sociopath
- Antisocial
The preferred word to describe someone who doesn’t care about others’ feelings is “disregard.” We use it to show that someone has no care or respect for anything else that other people might feel. Even when presented with others’ feelings, they’ll often ignore them.
Disregard
“Disregard” is something that people demonstrate when they don’t want anything to do with other people’s feelings. It’s more common than you think, and it’s especially prevalent in people who think their own problems far outweigh the problems of others.
The definition of “disregard,” according to The Cambridge Dictionary, is “the fact of showing no care or respect for something.”
We can use “disregard” whenever we want to talk about someone not caring or respecting something else. While it doesn’t have to strictly refer to people, it works really well when we’re talking about people who care very little (if at all) about the feelings of others.
“Disregard” can work in the following ways:
- He has a blatant disregard for anyone else’s feelings, and I can’t stand being around him.
- The disregard he demonstrates shows that he couldn’t care less what any of us think.
Selfish
“Selfish” is a common word we use to describe many antisocial issues in people. When talking about someone who only cares about themselves and not about other people, it’s common to use.
The definition of “selfish,” according to The Cambridge Dictionary, is “caring only about what you want or need without any thought for the needs or wishes of other people.”
Often, selfish people simply don’t care about the feelings of others because they’re too busy worrying about their own feelings. They don’t make for very good friends, which is evident if you know any truly selfish people in your life.
You might see selfish people in the following:
- You’re too selfish to ever be taken seriously. You should think about other people’s feelings for once.
- They’re both selfish and don’t care what anyone else thinks about them.
Thoughtless
If someone is thoughtless, it usually means that they don’t give a second thought to people’s feelings. Instead, they will act based on how they think they should act, which can result in doing things that might upset others.
The definition of “thoughtless,” according to The Cambridge Dictionary, is “not considering how your actions or words may upset someone.”
Sometimes, thoughtless people cause issues for others entirely by accident. They may not realize how harmful their behavior can be, but when they do, it’s too late for them to change anything about what they’ve done.
Thoughtless people might appear in the following ways:
- Stop being so thoughtless and tell me how you really feel. I’m too exhausted to argue!
- You’ve hurt my feelings one too many times, you thoughtless oaf!
Apathetic
Someone who is apathetic shows no emotion or interest when it comes to other people’s feelings. They’ll often choose to avoid taking action to help others, and they’d rather just spend their time not caring about anything at all.
The definition of “apathetic,” according to The Cambridge Dictionary, is “showing no interest or energy and unwilling to take action, especially over something important.”
Apathy is the opposite of empathy, which we use to describe someone who is so in touch with other people’s feelings that they’ll feel the same emotions.
Apathetic people can be seen as follows:
- She’s the most apathetic person I’ve ever met, and she’s never shown an ounce of care toward anyone.
- Your apathy is a tragedy, and it makes all the people closest to you turn away.
Oblivious
While “oblivious” isn’t the best word to describe people who don’t care about others’ feelings, it still works well to talk about them in specific cases. Oblivious people often don’t realize when they’ve done or said something to upset somebody they know.
The definition of “oblivious,” according to The Cambridge Dictionary, is “not conscious of something, especially what is happening around you.”
For oblivious people, it’s hard to understand why their actions might hurt others’ feelings. They will simply do things without a second thought (much like being “thoughtless”).
Oblivious is a great word that we can work into sentences in the following ways:
- You’re so oblivious that you don’t even notice when your own daughter needs a shoulder to cry on!
- Stop being so oblivious and take him! He needs all the help he can get from his mother right now!
Uncaring
“Uncaring” works when we want to talk about someone who doesn’t worry themselves with the troubles of others. They’ll always think about themselves first and rarely do anything to help out those in need.
The definition of “uncaring,” according to The Cambridge Dictionary, is “not worrying about other people’s troubles or doing anything to help them.”
Being “uncaring” is a very undesirable trait, and it’s usually quite easy to spot in certain people.
“Uncaring” works as follows:
- He’s by far the most uncaring person I’ve ever met, without a single care in the world for how other people feel.
- You’re too uncaring for us, and we don’t want anything more to do with you until you can learn what empathy is.
Sociopath
A sociopath, or someone who exhibits sociopathic tendencies, is someone who is unable to behave in a way that’s expected in society. It works to explain someone who doesn’t care for others’ feelings, even though it’s a more broad term than that.
The definition of “sociopath,” according to The Cambridge Dictionary, is “a person who is completely unable or unwilling to behave in a way that is acceptable to society.”
It’s possible to diagnose sociopaths clinically, which we can do for people of all ages if we need an explanation as to why they might struggle with certain things in life.
However, sociopathic behavior comes in many forms. One such form is that of not caring for the feelings of others, which is why we included it here.
Sociopathic behavior can present itself as follows:
- Both of these guys are sociopaths, and we’ve had to remove them from society to keep everyone else safe.
- Stop being a sociopathic freak and start helping us to understand why you don’t care!
Antisocial
Antisocial behavior is a lighter form of sociopathic behavior. We can apply it to any behavior that is deliberately harmful to others or to society. It also works well when we want to talk about someone who doesn’t care about the feelings of others.
The definition of “antisocial,” according to The Cambridge Dictionary, is “often avoiding spending time with other people.”
Antisocial people will usually make it clear that they’re not interested in getting to know other people. They’ll also tell others that their feelings are irrelevant in some way, so that they know they can’t confide in antisocial people.
“Antisocial” can work in the following ways:
- We’re both antisocial when it comes to parties, so don’t bother talking to us about how your day went.
- And the most antisocial person I’ve ever met can be awarded to you, that’s for sure!
Why Do Some People Not Care About Others’ Feelings?
There are many reasons why some people do not care about others’ feelings.
People might not care about others’ feelings if they have too much to think about in their own life. If their problems are more important to them than the feelings of others, then that’s up to them. Some people just don’t like other people, which could be a reason for it.
While not caring about others’ feelings is generally a bad personality trait, it could simply come down to someone experiencing problems in their own lives that outweigh those of the other people.
Of course, there are always exceptions to these rules. Some people just don’t like being around or conversing with others and will do anything to make sure that other people are aware of this.
Is It Bad To Not Care About Others’ Feelings?
Generally, not caring about the feelings of others is a negative personality trait, but it doesn’t always have to be.
It is not inherently bad to not care about others’ feelings. It is not your job to make sure everyone else feels happy all the time, but it is your job to make sure you don’t do anything that’s obviously going to upset someone based on what you know about them.
While you don’t have any obligations to look after the feelings of others, it still helps to be as mindful of them as possible. If you know that your actions could harm someone else’s feelings, it’s best to try and avoid doing them.

A quote from Dragon Ball Abridged, a fan based parody of Dragon Ball broad casted on you tube. Krillin is one of the main characters in Dragon Ball and in this parody, he is hated by every character where the line ‘No one cares Krillin!’ is a form of hatred in a comedic perspective. This is said to people who is not required to give your attention or someone who has said something exaggerated to another person who has no interest to the subject.
Get the no one cares krillin! mug.
