Let’s begin the discussion of the
personality adjective.
Hi, everybody, and welcome back to Top
Words. My name is Alisha, and in today’s
episode we’re going to be talking about
what adjective describes your
personality best. So let’s go! Charismatic.
Someone who is charismatic is perhaps a
good leader,
people are drawn to them, people want to
follow them, want to come to them.
Charismatic doesn’t necessarily mean
that that person is a good person or a
bad person, just that they are very good
at drawing people to them. People tell me
that I’m very charismatic.
Boring.
Boring mean something that is not interesting.
So hopefully nobody calls you boring, if
you’re a boring person, work on that.
Let’s talk about cardboard boxes.
Reliable. Reliable, someone who’s reliable,
someone that you can trust, or someone
that always does what they say they’re
going to do. My best friend is very
reliable. Humorous. Humorous is
just funny.
There’s a difference between funny and
humorous and silly, in terms of people.
Anyway, this is how i would break it down,
silly is like appreciates, just very kind
of childish stuff, or just enjoys
laughing; funny is like a slightly more
grown-up, funny, I feel like silly can be
part of funny, silly can fit into funny,
but funny is a little bit more grown-up,
maybe your make like the actual word
jokes, that are, you know, require a bit
more knowledge or a bit smarter; and then
humorous, humorous is like I feel like
it’s a bit more pretentious. I hope that
my friend think that I’m a very humorous
person. The next word is energetic.
Energetic means you have a lot of energy.
I personally don’t use it, if someone
says what’s your best friend like? I
wouldn’t immediately think he’s
energetic, like, I feel like that’s a
given
somehow, and when I say that’s a given, it
means it’s it’s an already understood
idea. I would use energetic for something
you would not expect to be energetic, my
grandmother is very energetic, she hikes
mountains even though she’s 80 something.
Lazy.
Yeah, you don’t
want to be called lazy generally, it
means that you, maybe you’re not
hard-working, you don’t take care of
yourself, or you don’t take care of your
responsibilities. Generally lazy is
not seen as a good thing, unless
you use an expression like, today is a
lazy Sunday. One of my co-workers is
really lazy, he never has his stuff done
on time.
Extroverted. Extroverted, it begins with
that prefix EX-tro, like ex, meaning
outside, so like extra, more information.
So an extroverted person is a very
outgoing person, they like talking, they
like talking to people, they want to go
out, and do all the things and be social
and go yeah! I like being extroverted on
this program. Introverted, the opposite of
extroverted is introverted. Introverted,
inside something interior ,they want to
not go talk to people all the time, or
maybe they just have a different way of
expressing their social skills. In
reality, I’m a rather introverted person.
The next word is indecisive. Indecisive.
Indecisive people drive me crazy.
This word means someone who is bad at
making decisions. I have a friend who is
very indecisive, she can’t ever make up
her mind, I have to do it for her.
Easygoing.
Easygoing is a good thing to
be, generally, in my opinion. Easygoing
means you’re relax, you’ll just do
whatever, you’re happy to just hang out,
if someone makes a suggestion, you’re
cool with that.
Alright, fine, that’s great for me, I’ll do
whatever. My best friend is very
easygoing, he’s cool to do anything.
The next word is naive.
So someone that doesn’t have a lot of
experience in a topic, or even life
experience, could be considered naive. You
don’t want to be called naive, the
suggestion with naive is that it’s easy
to take advantage of you,
maybe you could be easily molded, or your
experience can easily be changed by
someone else.
So generally naive is not a good thing,
you don’t want to be naive.
My friend was very naive and
got in trouble with a bad business deal.
The next word is artistic. Yeah, artistic
is a good word, similar to creative,
perhaps. Artistic is someone who enjoys
art, or enjoys creating things, so this
doesn’t, it’s not limited to, you know,
just art like paintings, you know, doing
good paintings or sculptures or
something like that. Any kind of creative
endeavor, any kind of creative work,
I feel you could use the word artistic for.
My aunt is very artistic, she can draw
very well. Enthusiastic. Enthusiastic, this
is similar to energetic, but it just
means you’re excited about things, you’re
enthusiastic about something usually.
Sports fans are very enthusiastic about
their favorite team. Friendly. Friendly.
I hope that you are friendly person, is
someone maybe that it feels easy for you
to talk to, someone that’s chill, someone
that’s probably outgoing, maybe a bit
extroverted is a friendly person. I went
to an event on saturday and everybody
there was very friendly, it was a fun time.
How would I describe my personality? God,
it depends on the day, man. The one that I
use lately is scatterbrained, but that
has a very negative connotation about it.
Scatterbrained, if you break down the
word scatter and brain, scatter means
to spread something randomly, brain
meaning inside your brain.
I have so many different things going on
that, like, I’m thinking about like this
job, and that job, this project, that
project, and I have to do this, and oh my
god, my laundry is not done yet, and what
am I gonna make for dinner tomorrow? My
god! I have to go running later tonight,
What I’m going to do? How many cups of
coffee have I had? This is what’s going on
in my head.
