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.
