Skeptic

A skeptic is a person who doesn't just believe everything they hear and often asks questions to find out if something is really true. They like to think carefully and look for proof before accepting ideas or beliefs.

Examples

• During our history lesson, I became a skeptic when I heard a story that sounded too unbelievable to be real, so I decided to research it further.
