Below is a list of describing words for another word. You can sort the descriptive words by uniqueness or commonness using the button above. Sorry if there's a few unusual suggestions! The algorithm isn't perfect, but it does a pretty good job for most common nouns. Here's the list of words that can be used to describe another word:
If you're getting strange results, it may be that your query isn't quite in the right format. The search box should be a simple word or phrase, like "tiger" or "blue eyes". A search for words to describe "people who have blue eyes" will likely return zero results. So if you're not getting ideal results, check that your search term, "term" isn't confusing the engine in this manner.
The idea for the Describing Words engine came when I was building the engine for Related Words (it's like a thesaurus, but gives you a much broader set of related words, rather than just synonyms). While playing around with word vectors and the "HasProperty" API of conceptnet, I had a bit of fun trying to get the adjectives which commonly describe a word. Eventually I realised that there's a much better way of doing this: parse books!
For those interested in a little info about this site: it's a side project that I developed while working on Describing Words and Related Words. Both of those projects are based around words, but have much grander goals. I had an idea for a website that simply explains the word types of the words that you search for - just like a dictionary, but focussed on the part of speech of the words. And since I already had a lot of the infrastructure in place from the other two sites, I figured it wouldn't be too much more work to get this up and running.
The dictionary is based on the amazing Wiktionary project by wikimedia. I initially started with WordNet, but then realised that it was missing many types of words/lemma (determiners, pronouns, abbreviations, and many more). This caused me to investigate the 1913 edition of Websters Dictionary - which is now in the public domain. However, after a day's work wrangling it into a database I realised that there were far too many errors (especially with the part-of-speech tagging) for it to be viable for Word Type.
Currently, this is based on a version of wiktionary which is a few years old. I plan to update it to a newer version soon and that update should bring in a bunch of new word senses for many words (or more accurately, lemma).
Using descriptive words can bring characters to life in a novel or short story, sell an item in a product advertisement, convince an audience in a persuasive writing piece, explain the setting of a news story, or provide instructions for a DIY project. Using illustrative descriptors makes your writing impossible to put down because your sentences are more vivid.
Also, which handouts (i.e., therapy methods) would best address my problem directly? I'm going through the "Overcoming Social Anxiety" audio series, and I've noticed a lot of good progress, but I am still afraid of blushing and about what people think about it.
An example of this might be when you feel you are made the center of attention and everyone is looking at you. Or, maybe someone has singled you out and put you on the spot by asking you a question in front of other people. Perhaps the supervisor at work comes up behind you, surprises you, and asks you a question for which you don't have the answer. All of these situations are potential triggers to people whose social anxiety symptoms include blushing.
Many times there is an element of surprise involved... you weren't expecting something to happen and when it does, you blush. The blushing then embarrasses you and you are afraid that others interpreted your blushing as being strange or weird.
It is our perception of what is happening that makes us respond in the way we do. That is, it is the way we view the situation, combined with our instant social anxiety "fear response", that determines why and if we'll blush.
Each person has his or her own "triggers" for blushing. One person may blush when a person at work calls his name in a crowded room. Another may blush when she is made the center of attention in a college classroom.
In other people the fear of blushing may be so strong that they bring the blushing on themselves, even in fairly minor public situations. If we are consumed, obsessed, and worried about blushing, then our brain is focused on blushing and, therefore, it will happen to us much more frequently.
Blushing may happen when we are put on the spot, when others say something we perceive as being embarrassing or humiliating, and even when we anticipate that we might blush. The anticipation or expectation of blushing can lead to further blushing.
It is this fear of blushing -- worrying about it, feeling that it is awful and that others will notice and not approve of us -- and the anticipatory anxiety we have about it occurring -- that feeds and fuels the act of blushing itself.
By definition, an automatic negative thought (ANT) is irrational, and it is always wrong. You are right: If you feel that everyone notices you blush, is judgmental about it, and thinks less of you because of it, these are automatic negative thoughts.
Because blushing is such a strong, hot, sharp, and embarrassing experience our emotions are invoked immediately. It seems there is nothing we can do to stop them. It feels as if the blushing is uncontrollable and we will always have to live with it.
People who are not blushers do not feel that blushing is terrible, awful, or embarrassing. Most often, they don't even notice it. If they do notice it, it is because you pay attention to it, point it out, make a comment about it, or look embarrassed, humiliated, and defeated by it.
Conversely, if you continue right on with what you are doing or saying when you blush and, if you put no effort into concentrating on the symptoms, others will not usually even notice it. Even if they do, you will have learned not to care.
Because we fear other's evaluation or judgment, we blow the situation out of proportion and make it in to something catastrophic. I don't know how many times I've heard people say they felt like crawling into a hole and disappearing simply because they blushed and someone else noticed it.
First, cognitive therapy for social anxiety directly address all the "germs", catalysts, or triggers involved in the cycle of blushing maintenance. Since blushing is maintained by our anxiety, in cognitive therapy we learn to think, believe, and feel differently than we have in the past about our anxiety.
Sometimes people want "blushing only" therapy. We learned very quickly that this does not work, because the root cause of blushing is social anxiety. For blushing to be eradicated, then social anxiety must be eradicated, too. Cognitive therapy to overcome social anxiety and its symptoms, whether it be blushing, excessive sweating, hands that shake, or neck twitching, is always necessary.
There are a combination of cognitive methods and strategies that will lead you to change the way you think, perceive, and feel about blushing. It is these changes that will allow you to control and "be in charge" of your blushing.
Overcoming social anxiety (and blushing) is a paradox. It is only when we learn to stop fighting, struggling and trying to force the anxiety away that we can start to recover from social anxiety. This requires persistence, patience and a willingness to be kind to yourself.
If you blush, do not try to hide it or look down, but just continue on with your interaction or conversation with the other person. The more you realize it's no big deal... the more you can just go on... and simply focus externally on what you or they are talking about and let the blush go away on its own.
Google it and you'll see headlines like: "Guys are attracted to girls who wear blush"; "Why you MUST STOP wearing powder blush NOW!"; and "Sex hormones make women's faces redder as a sign of fertility."
It was a fine line everyone treaded, until a woman by the name of Elizabeth I, England's queen from 1558 to 1603, endorsed the use of blush again, given that she had a signature look all her own: Bright red hair, a pale face, a high forehead, and a slathering of rouge.
However, very unfortunately, while women loved cosmetics from the 1500s to the 1700s, cosmetics did not love women, as many of them were still extremely toxic. In terms of blush, toxic chemicals were in many of the most popular concoctions and when it was applied to the lips, which was a popular alternative to lipstick, it could actually poison the person.
The reason that we've gathered for blush existing for such a long time in the beauty industry, despite fads and poisonings, is that blush signified a kind of youthfulness, like a kid running around in a park with plump, pink cheeks.
And so lighter makeup, and natural-looking makeup, yet again was more in favor, with women biting their lips to make them pinker and using crushed beets for blush. (Again, it was all about getting that youthful, girlish glow.)
Since then, blush has certainly been toned down and a bit augmented. Now, contouring and shaping the face with powder in shades of brown rather than pink is popular, although wearing blush as it was originally used (on the apples of the cheeks) isn't considered all that rare either.
But trendy makeup companies aimed at young women, like Glossier, are trying to make it seem super cool again too, launching a liquid blush in March called "cloud paint" that people are currently obsessing over.
So, here's to blush, not only for its ability to survive a gruesome and lengthy history and come out as one of the most effective makeup items of our time, but also for constantly adapting to trends and the women who love to wear it. 2ff7e9595c
