lazy / unemotional
The colloquial Egyptian word is بروطة
It basically means lazy or tend to stay or sleep a lot and not to be active. It could be an insult for fat people.

أيوااااااااااا أنا بروطـــــــــــة حد ليه شوق في حاجة

In your context, I think it has to do with laziness in showing emotions or intrest. I think the word unemotional (in the sense of not showing strong feelings) fits well this context.
