Example Sentences
- "[…] he is, as he affirms, a “people person”—his impulses are unfailingly awkward, his attempts at humor are lumpishly uncool, he’s accident-prone and fretful, but he’s also effusively sympathetic, optimistic, encouraging, and insistently pursuing sentimentally warm companionships based on little but a bottomless fund of sheer enthusiasm."
