How to use "Flighty" in context?
A disillusioned woman once told me that she hates herself for being so flighty. And I had to agree; after all, who wants to be labeled flighty? When I hear that word, I think of girls who flit between friendships, boys who never commit, and women who change their mind every time they have an opinion. Anyone who falls into that category can feel like a flighty individual- and that's never a good thing.
The dictionary defines flighty as "having a disposition characterized by vacillation or instability; unsteady; fickle." In practical terms, that sometimes translates to being emotionally unstable.
