How to use "Defiant" in context?
When most people think of defiant, they think of someone who is unwilling to comply with rules or someone who is obstinate. However, defiant can also refer to someone who is energized and excited by their own ability to be different or unique. This term can be used positively to describe someone who is passionate and driven, or negatively to describe someone who is stubborn or uncooperative.
Despite its negative connotations, defiant attitudes and behavior can be incredibly motivating and encourage people to challenge conventional norms and expectations. As long as someone is taking an active interest in their own independence and self-reliance, they can be considered defiant.
