Hi, everyone!

1. Mary is indifferent whether or not she is loved by her students.

2. It is indifferent to Mary whether or not she is loved by her students.


Do you think sentences #1 and #2 are the same in meaning?

Thank you!

I think 1.) is OK but I don't think you can use it as in your second example.
