What's the difference between a curious person and a nosy person

Updated on March 12, 2016

Before getting into the curious person, we shall observe the definition of being curious!

It speaks in the free online dictionary of what curious means

1. Eager to learn more: curious investigators; a trapdoor that made me curious.2. Unduly inquisitive; prying: a curious neighbor always looking over the fence.3. Arousing interest because of novelty or strangeness: a curious fact.4. Archaic a. Accomplished with skill or ingenuity.b. Extremely careful;scrupulous or fastidious.

One can look online at free dictionary at this site below

A curious person is someone who has an person has an aroused interest rather it's some information, hobby, or that person.

This person is always engaged in learning more about that hobby, or something about an individual .

In other words, it has grabbed their full attention and their ears are always open.

In the terms of starting to build a relationship, a curious person will always be excited to be around that individual.

Their actions will show that there is interest there.

Before getting into the nosy person, we must observe the definition of being nosy.

Given to or showing an intrusive curiosity about the affairs of others; prying.

One can look at the definition below at free online dictionary.com

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/nosy

A nosy person is far different from the curious individual.

This type of person doesn't know how to stay out of a person's business.

In order words, this individual is always trying to find out what is going on in someone's else life in order to go tell other people.

Their objective is to let other people know about the affairs and privacy of another person so that it will spread among others.

By letting others know the private affairs of other people, it causes confusion and twisting information among a group.

Due to the careless act of a nosy person, this individual delights in telling others the affairs of other people, but don't want nobody to tell their business.

A nosy person isn't never interested in developing a relationship with another person. If the individual was, he or she would be putting to earn trust.


My final point is that being curious and nosy are two different things, but some people might view them as the same.
