I've been thinking about that. I can understand that you're frustrated if they don't care about your thoughts. Of course it doesn't make much sense to talk about it then. So you'd rather look for friends who want to share their thoughts with you too.
Now, in that situation you're describing, I'm asking myself if she really didn't care. It sounds more like she got frustrated and defensive. Did
you agree to disagree? Did
you respect her opinion? Or did you push her a bit? Maybe she said she doesn't care only to close the conversation, so that you would stop arguing already. Could that be? Or she wanted to be right badly. Or you wanted to be right badly. Was this conversation more like sharing ideas, or more like a battle of two egos?
