listlessly
In apathetic fashion
Listlessly means without energy, interest, or enthusiasm—as if drained of the will to engage.
Someone who sits listlessly stares without focus; someone who works listlessly goes through motions without caring about results.
She listlessly flipped through channels, not really watching anything.
The word suggests a state beyond mere tiredness—a hollowness or indifference that makes effort feel pointless.
