the second one doesnât sound as natural. The first one is completely fine but then in the second one the word âorâ before âitâs seems soâ sounds a little odd. The first one would make sense if one person said it but the second out sounds like one person said âHer colleagues badmouth her, but she doesnât care.â and then someone else replied to that with something like âyeah it seems soâ that would make more sense.
The difference is in the first one puts more of an emphasis on the possibility that maybe she does actually care so youâre saying it only âseemsâ like she doesnât care. The second one âit seems soâ still implies that maybe she does actually care but it sounds more like you actually believe she doesnât really care
I hope that was helpful and not confusing:)
