Emotions – 430 Nouns & Adjectives to Help Us Name How We Feel

I have long found this list of emotions – nouns and adjectives – very helpful. So many of us were not brought up to give our emotions much attention let alone encouragement to describe or communicate about them.

It can be evocative to have a list of a full palette of feelings with which to develop a more finely tuned thought process, ability to understand ourselves and ability to communicate.

For instance, here are the “A”‘s through “B”‘s:

• absorbed
• abusive
• accepting
• accommodating
• accomplished
• adaptable
• adversarial
• aggressive
• agreeable
• alert
• altruistic
• analytical
• angry
• annoyed
• antagonistic
• anxious
• approved of
• arrogant
• ashamed
• authentic
• balanced
• beautiful
• belligerent
• bereft
• bitter
• bored
• brave
• broken down
• bullied
