What is a positive descriptor for someone that doesn't care about anything/is always neutral? [closed]

I am looking for a word that describes a personality/person (not in a negative but neutral/positive way) that doesn't care abut anything, has a neutral opinion about most things, is very care free/laxed, etc. The closest I could think of is narcissist but it's not quite right. Is there such a word?

I guess an example would be like "Dave doesn't care if we have a salad, a burger, or a soup for lunch, he is a/very ________."

Thanks.


Solution 1:

If the person is eager to help or please, consider accomodating that has a positive connotation.

Definition : having an easygoing and cheerful disposition;

Example : Please, make a special effort to be accommodating!

If the person is uncaring, consider indifferent, which is negative.

Definition : Having no marked feeling for or against; without concern; apathetic; uninterested;

Example : Are you really this indifferent to the fact that the two boys were hurt?

Solution 2:

Such people are flexible.

"Dave doesn't care if we have a salad, a burger, or a soup for lunch, he is very flexible."

M-W:

flexible adjective

: willing to change or to try different things

Whatever you want to do is fine with me. I'm flexible.

We can also call them open-minded.

M-W:

open–minded adjective

: willing to consider different ideas or opinions

Solution 3:

laid-back (laidback)

having a relaxed or casual atmosphere or character; easygoing

relaxed in style, character, or behaviour; easy-going and unhurried

Laid-back has a neutral/positive connotation and describes a person who is relaxed and rarely (or never) feels/shows stress in their day-to-day life.

Dave doesn't care if we have a salad, a burger, or soup for lunch; he is very laidback.

Note: Most online dictionaries list the word as hyphenated, but the unhyphenated version seems to be overtaking (ever so slowly). (ngram for laidback/laid-back 1958-2008)

Solution 4:

Easy going

This has a very positive feel, kind of like easy to please.

  1. not easily worried or angered; relaxed and rather casual; calm.

Edit: A couple additional ideas

even-keeled

I'm not finding a definition that fits my idea about this word. Here's something close:

on an even keel: regular and well-balanced and not likely to change suddenly

even-tempered

easygoing; calm

Solution 5:

May not be not quite right, but it's an interesting possibility. How about blasé?

M-W:

blasé: having or showing a lack of excitement or interest in something especially because it is very familiar

Your example:

"Dave doesn't care if we have a salad, a burger, or a soup for lunch. He is very blasé about most things."
