i was indiffernt vs i felt indifferent

Both of these are correct; however, they're used in different contexts. 'I felt indifferent' is the more common and natural way to express the lack of interest or concern. On the other hand, 'I was indifferent' can be used to describe a state of being indifferent, such as in a specific situation or toward a particular topic.
