Massive means enormous. Obviously, Mt. Everest is massive, but a massive budget cut isn’t necessarily big in physical mass; it’s something that is imposing in scale or power. A massive budget cut can do a lot of damage.

Unless someone is referring to your intellect, massive is not a word you want used in a description of your attributes. Massive is a nice one to trot out when huge, gigantic, and enormous sound too over-the-top. Politicians use it often.
