What feeling words are used for
Feeling words are the hard mode of charades and Pictionary — acting 'jealousy' or drawing 'relief' forces the scene-building creativity that concrete nouns never demand. Save them for experienced groups, or use them as bonus-point challenges.
Their serious use is bigger: educators and therapists use emotion-word lists to build 'emotional granularity' — the ability to tell frustration from disappointment from resentment. Writers use them in reverse: draw a random feeling, then write a scene that shows it without naming it. That exercise is the fastest route to 'show, don't tell'.
