What are the opposite words for excited?
Excitement is an emotion that makes you feel thrilled, elated, and energetic. However, to express the opposite meaning, we can use antonyms such as calm, bored, and sad. Instead of being excited, you can find yourself feeling calm and composed at times, especially when you are tired or have had a long day. Similarly, when you are not interested in something, you may feel bored instead of excited. Alternatively, when something that you were looking forward to fails to happen the way you expected, you may end up feeling sad or disappointed. In short, the antonyms of excited reflect a lack of enthusiasm, energy, and interest.
