Also, when I think of the word intriguing, I think of something that is fascinating or interesting in a way that pulls me toward it, like a gravitational pull. As someone being made to feel “intrigued”, I’m more helpless and passive than if something were simply interesting. I hope that makes sense.
By the way, I changed my name again recently. Someone else took my previous name. I just want to make sure you know this is me. 🥰

@kumi-japan They are similar in this meaning:
keeping your attention and making you want to know more.

The words are very similar. As a native speaker, I think the word intriguing is more often used to describe something that seems a little bit mysterious or unknowable. For example, Japanese culture is very interesting. On the other hand, the expression on the face of the beautiful woman sitting at the table across the room was so intriguing, I couldn’t help but wonder what she was thinking. Does that help? 🥰
