when really they are just afraid to make contact.

In fact, people sometimes think that shy people are snobbish and uninterested in/indifferent to other people when really they are just afraid to make contact.

For a start, do both "uninterested in and indifferent to" work with the above sample and mean about the same? Secondly, what part of speech is "when?" Is it a temporal conjunction or a relative abverb? Thanks.
