Say disappointed with.

Dear RonBee,
But in dictionary, I could find
1. We were disappointed at the result.
2. His parents were disappointed with him.

So maybe we should know what he/she wants to say?
Have a nice weekend :D

I do think people are most likely to use disappointed with (or disappointed in) when talking about a person.
I hope I don't disappoint you further. :wink:

So we could say:
1. We are disappointed at something.
2. We are disappointed with/in someone/some country.
3. We are disappointed in something.
Am I right?

indifferent - not interested in something - If you are indifferent to something, it is of no importance to you.
The preposition "to" usually follows the adjective "indifferent".
indifferent to
to be indifferent to
