50 Loving Sentiments We All Should Say More Often
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.
~Maya Angelou
All too often, we take the people we love the most for granted: our lovers, family members, friends, and even our children. We forget the enormous power of our words,as we carelessly lash out when under stress. We stick our noses in our laptops and smartphones, assuming our loved ones know what we are failing to verbalize, sometimes until the relationships are disconnected or damaged beyond repair.
Make a choice to consciously nurture your relationships with verbal communications of love. Be kind and sincere. Ask open-ended questions with an open heart. Listen empathically and non-defensively. Remember, there are no conditions, no strings, no expectations, and no manipulations. Simply, love to love.
Sprinkle your relationships with these loving sentiments and watch your relationships blossom:
1. I am here for you.
2. Thank you. Thanks for all you do for me and all the ways in which you add value to my life.
3. You are beautiful. What I find most beautiful about you, inside and out, is: _____.

Feelings (eng. sentiments) - stable emotional experiences of a person that arise in the process of his relationship with the outside world. Feelings are formed and developed in the course of development and upbringing of a person. They reflect the significance of any phenomena, objects, events for a person, his inner world, needs and motives.
Unlike affects and emotions, feelings are supra-situational. In addition, feelings are subjective, which is explained by the different significance of certain objects and phenomena for different people. Another property of feelings is ambivalence, or duality: in the same feeling, positive and negative emotions can unite and flow into each other (for example, love is accompanied by anger, and joy, and despair, and jealousy, etc.). nine0003
Based on the leading feelings of a person, one can form a certain idea of his worldview and system of values. There is no stable classification of feelings, but division according to the degree of generalization (concrete, generalized, abstract feelings), as well as the allocation of subspecies of feelings in accordance with their objects (moral, aesthetic, intellectual, parental, etc.) is common.

To help us deal with feelings that we cannot always express in words, psychologists turn to the concept of emotional intelligence. This ability helps to recognize not only joy and fear, but also weirder and more complex emotions. nine0003
Some of these words have no equivalent in Russian, and others don't even have fixed dictionary descriptions, but that doesn't stop people around the world from using them to express themselves more accurately.
Liberosis
Liberosis is the desire to get rid of problems, pressure and lack of freedom in adulthood. Liberosis is experienced by those who want to become a child again and not worry about pressing domestic issues and their future.
The word first appeared in 2006 in the dictionary of John Koenig, a student at McAlister College in Minnesota. The young poet compiled an Inexplicable Sorrow dictionary for emotions that had not previously been described linguistically in official sources. nine0003
Vemomodalen
Many Instagram account holders experience this feeling. Vemomodalen is the feeling of not being able to uniquely capture some event, object or landscape. For example, you admire the sunset and want your subscribers to feel the same way. But at the same time, you understand that they have all seen dozens of photos with the same beautiful sunset, and yours will be just one of them. In other words, vemodal is the desire to create something outstanding, coupled with the understanding that your work cannot be unique. nine0003

Chrystalism
Chrystalism is a state similar to that of a child in the womb. It occurs when you are in a warm, comfortable house, and outside the window there is a thunderstorm and a downpour. If you feel absolute security, comfort, lack of fears for the future, you can safely call this emotion chrystalism. By the way, from Latin chrysalis is translated as “chrysalis”, “cocoon”, which describes this feeling as accurately as possible.
nine0003
Cenopsia
Feelings that arise in an abandoned place where life was once in full swing. Such emotions are similar to the feelings of watching a thriller and seem creepy and unpleasant to many, while others like suspense and mystery. Abandoned houses, hospitals and entire cities attract people who seek to understand their beauty. On the Internet, there are communities of amateur photographers who collect information about such places. One of them is called Kenopsia.
nine0003
Andronitis
In dealing with people, it is customary to gradually open up, get to know each other before calling the relationship true friendship. Andronitis is a feeling that arises when meeting a new pleasant person. This is the moment when you realize how long it will take to develop a relationship, you want to speed up this process by bypassing a long sequence of formal dialogues. Emotion can also arise when you realize that it is impossible to continue communication, for example, with a random fellow traveler. nine0003

Enyumen
A feeling of regret for past experiences that eventually led to a happy present. This desire to go back and tell yourself that everything will be fine and there is no point in being nervous about upcoming events. The emotion is familiar to everyone who took exams, prepared for an interview, and decided to make a radical change in life. It's like you want to say to yourself in the past: "Everything will be fine, you have nothing to worry about."
nine0003
Žuska
When a complaint is made, insulted or an evil joke is made, not everyone is able to instantly find the right words, succumbing to the emotions of anger and confusion. Zhuska - an anxious feeling: you repeatedly repeat in your head a dialogue from a real past or hypothetical situation that worries you. In this imaginary dialogue, you become the winner by repeatedly beating events and finding the optimal words to disarm your opponent.
nine0003
Sonder
The Thought catalog website describes this feeling as an awareness of uniqueness and yet commonality. In this state, you suddenly realize that each of the bystanders is a separate person living his own rich life, in which there is a family, friends, problems, experiences, aspirations and worries. This emotion can be experienced, for example, looking at strangers in a subway car: each of them is a separate world.
