Alkeez 01/16/21 5:22:42 PM #1:	It's often used about newly religious people who now think religion is the answer for everyone and then try to convince others. I also think its used about people who find a new diet (veganism for example) I don't think it's a bad word, but it's more about someone being infatuated with a new idea and then try to "help" others to understand. It's close to indoctrinated, i think. That word has the implication that someone else is in control, but the word I'm thinking of is closer to just "finding my way and i think this is the way for others too" -or something like that I'm not from an english speaking country, and I've heard it multiple times, so I'm pretty sure this is a word that is not rarely used. Thanks for your help =) --- 3DS FC: 3067-6595-2576 I'm like Jon Jones, I sound like Sean Combs and I got trombone size stones like John Holmes -Chael Sonnen <cite>Alkeez posted [p:949575984] in I can't th...

Alkeez 01/16/21 5:33:10 PM #9:	Many good suggestions, but its not the words im looking for: Converted is more about what the person went through, not what the person trying to share Enlightened is too positive, as it sounds like the person HAS the truth, not that he just thinks he has it I feel we are close, though. I believe englightened is closer, as im thinking of a word that describes a persons state of mind, i think If someone gets into a new type of music and then feels the need to spread the word. Im pretty sure its not just used in a religious way --- 3DS FC: 3067-6595-2576 I'm like Jon Jones, I sound like Sean Combs and I got trombone size stones like John Holmes -Chael Sonnen <cite>Alkeez posted [p:949576381] in I can't th...

Proselytize I needed to google this, so im pretty sure its a more common word (at least outside of english speaking countries) And the word im seeking is not about what someone does, its more about what that person is, when in the state of mind of this new idea.
