Describing Feelings
Here you will find part of the world's longest list of feeling words, (or emotion words / words that describe feelings). The full list is now over 3,000 words. The words in letters A-S are shown here. We will send the complete file via email for $5.00 (US). (Ordering Details). We will also send a free copy of the list to anyone who donates new words. Please write if you want to contribute a new word. By the way, some people ask if we are still selling the list. As of April 2009, the answer is yes.
We also have this list of Common Negative Feelings. See also this article about "Talking away your pain."

* = Newly created words
Thanks to all the people who have contributed new words. I am sorry but it has proven impractical for me to name them all. A special thanks, though to Bob Myrick at the University of Florida. His list of 50 or so words was the first feeling words list I ever saw, or at least paid any attention to! It was in a book called Caring and Sharing: Becoming a Peer Facilitator. A book I recommend. (My notes from the book)
