Imagine you are playing a game with your friend. You want to go left, but your friend wants to go right. You both want different things, which is like being contrary. Being contrary means wanting or doing the opposite of someone else.
Think of a cat and a dog. The cat likes to be quiet and alone, while the dog loves to be noisy and with people. They are contrary because they like different things.
Now, picture a sunny day. Most people want to go outside and play, but someone who is contrary might want to stay inside and read a book. They are doing the opposite of what everyone else wants to do.
Imagine two magnets. When you try to push the same sides together, they push away from each other. This is like being contrary. They don’t want to be together because they are opposite.
Being contrary is not always bad. Sometimes it helps you think differently and come up with new ideas. It’s like having your own special way of thinking that’s different from others.
