Some of us may not have learned a vocabulary of Feelings so I am posting this to help with that.
Feelings Inventory
The following are words we use when we want to express a combination of emotional states and physical sensations. This list is neither exhaustive nor definitive. It is meant as a starting place to support anyone who wishes to engage in a process of deepening self-discovery and to facilitate greater understanding and connection between people.
There are two parts to this list: feelings we may have when our needs are being met and feelings we may have when our needs are not being met.
We also have another list that may be of interest to you: a list of needs.
