So, I have a confession. I'm terrible at describing emotions. I don't show a lot of emotions and I guess that could be a reason why I'm bad at describing them now. So, in today's little tip, I decided to look up some good words to describe emotions. Ranging from happy to mad, here's some words!

HAPPY: Content, cheerful, merry, beaming, delighted, untroubled, joyful, radiant, ecstatic, overjoyed, elated, on cloud nine, over the moon, walking on air, on a high, or in high spirits.

DISGUST: revulsion, aversion, distaste, loathing, horror, annoyance, nausea, anger, fury, outrage, contempt, disapproval, displeasure, and discontented.

SURPRISED: Astonished, amazed, nonplussed, taken aback, astounded, dazed, at a loss for words, benumbed, staggered, startled, dismay, and dumbstruck.

SAD: unhappy, regretful, depressed, downcast, down, miserable, gloomy, blue, dismal, broken hearted, and glum.

SCARED: afraid, frightened, alarmed, worried, intimidated, unease, disquiet, petrified, and dreadful.

ANGER: vexed, furious, enraged, cross, irritated, annoyed, raving, resentful, and provoked.

Thanks for reading and I hope this gave you some ideas!
