Learn English – A non-negative synonym for indifferent

synonyms

What is a word for being indifferent but not in a negative way?

When I look for synonyms all the words are negative, meaning "I don't care" or apathetic. But that's not what I want.

I want a word that describes someone who believes it doesn't matter who you are, what you like, who you love. Someone who lives life believing everyone is entitled to their opinion and doesn't get stressed out or angry when things don't go exactly to plan. Someone who goes with the flow.

Is there a word for this that's not negative?

Best Answer

I feel the word indifferent is about as neutral as you can get, but in consideration of your third paragraph, perhaps you want a word like laid-back or one of its synonyms?
