What is the opposite of the word PATHETIC?

Question

By 'pathetic' I mean weak, feeble, unimpressive, failure, unsuccessful, loser and so on.

Answer 1

er....... no me! x

Answer 2

Me =)

Answer 3

www.synonym.com

says the antonym of pathetic is fortunate.

Pathetic means deserving of pathos so I reckon its about right someone fortunate would not be in need of my store of pathos.

Before I looked it up I was thinking of 'effective'

Answer 4

Pathetic (from pathos) meant something that evoked pity and sympathy. But in it's current usage it seems to evoke a condition as 'beneath contempt' (weak, feeble, loser etc) and is actually quite a harsh label to give anything. So the opposite could be anything said with admiration - fabulous, tremendous... etc. But I know that's not quite what you are looking for. Intrigued. Any suggestions, people?

Answer 5

Perfect, amazing, intelligent, successful, impressive, strong, wonderful, smart, lovable, great, courageous; any more?

Answer 6

Bathetic.

Answer 7

impressive

Answer 8

The obvious answer is antipathetic. Pathetic simply means the expression of sympathy and I personally don't  think that is a show of weakness. Your definition is fatally flawed.

Antipathetic means having an aversion to something/someone.

Answer 9

I'd suggest one of the following:

Dignified

Estimable

Fortunate

There is no exact opposite, of course, just like there isn't an exact opposite of a cloud or a crab or something. Unless their absence or negative counts, and thus "no-crab", "no-cloud" and "non-pathetic".
