“Silly” used to mean blessed. “Nice” used to mean clueless. Labels people give you can change meaning too.

Words drift, sometimes all the way to the opposite of where they started. The label attached to you at school, too serious, too much, the quiet one, is not a fixed description, and in a different room the same quality gets a different name: thoughtful, driven, easy to be around. Nothing about you has to change for the meaning to. Context does most of the renaming.

Take the word you have been stuck with and write the version somebody would say kindly. Then find a place where that version is the one in use, because some labels only need a new room.
