    Negative Emotions – Volume 3

    • Neglect

      Neglect

      Raise your hand if you enjoy feeling neglect. What? No hands? Now, raise your hand if you avoid feeling neglect. Ooh, I see a few hands now, mine included. Neglect is a good disguise artist. It might look like people-pleasing, numbness, or even over-achievement. When I feel this…
    • Offended

      Offended

      When was the last time you felt offended? It is an emotion you probably feel more often than you realize. Think for a moment about the last time you felt offended. Did you feel threatened? Perhaps the feeling helped to spark a conversation, or maybe it opened a…
    • Paranoid

      Paranoid

      Are you paranoid about exploring what it means to feel paranoid? What is feeling paranoid all about, and what do you suppose this emotion is trying to tell us? I understand sometimes paranoia can become chronically debilitating for some. When that happens, it’s always good to reach out…
    • Querulous

      Querulous

      What the heck does querulous mean? I know. It’s a new description of a feeling for my vocabulary, too! Querulous pertains to feeling dissatisfied or annoyed, which leads to chronic complaining. Have you ever been there before, or been around someone who is suffering from querulousness? I bet…
    • Rattled

      Rattled

      You’re working feverishly to meet a deadline and suddenly receive some unexpected news that rattles you to your core. The pounding heart in your chest, sweaty hands, and shallow breathing leave you feeling rattled. Be careful where you step! The head of the pin you’re standing on barely…
    • Shame

      Shame

      Emotions can be teachers for us to stay true to who we are or who we want to be. Think for a moment about the last time you felt shame. Where does that feeling come from? Did you think or believe that if you hid, your shame would…

    • Troubled

      Troubled

      Have you ever felt restless for seemingly no reason at all? This could be a sign that you feel more troubled about something than you realize. Sneaky little feeling, troubled. This little feeling (or not so small feeling) can be full of little gifts for us if we…
    • Uncertain

      Uncertain

      I’m feeling uncertain about this (or that). Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Whether we perceive it as positive or negative, uncertainty could be a generous gift. I’m exploring negative emotions right now, so I’m diving into this one from that perspective. We are each…
    • Volatile

      Volatile

      We’ve all seen people in a volatile state. Scary, I know! Truth is, we all feel it but sometimes don’t recognize it until after the fact. It appears when we experience rapid or unexpected change (like when the Japanese stock market dropped). Or, sometimes it comes on suddenly…
    • Weak

      Weak

      There’s physical weakness and there’s feeling emotionally weak. You guessed it, I’m talking about emotionally feeling weak. I’m in that club of people who feel like I need to be strong all the time. However, I learning to embrace my perceived weaknesses in a way that emphasizes my…
    • Xenophobic

      Xenophobic

      What in the world is xenophobic? I know. An emotion word that starts with x. There are so few of them, but this one is real, too. Yes, I’m aware, I’m still exploring negative emotions, but this one is worth understanding a little better. First, let’s start with…
