More Guidance
This is a vocabulary exercise to help you find words for how you feel. It is not a test or a clinical assessment, and there is no correct answer.
Feelings are often mixed, so choose as many words as fit, from any family. If nothing fits, use your own word, or choose I'm not sure.
The words are an original grouping of everyday language written for this site. The colours only tell the families apart; no feeling is presented as good or bad.
