21 English Idioms to Express Feelings | Joy, Calm, Frustration, Anger

With English idioms you can precisely express your feelings, even adding creativity and nuance when you’re feeling joyful, tranquil, or frustrated.

Of course, you can use the words joy, calm, and frustration however today I’m sharing with you 21 idioms in English to express feelings with sharp accuracy bringing a new level of sophistication to how you express your feelings in English.

For example, if I say I’m feeling frustrated, that simple word doesn’t fully express whether something is simply under my skin or whether I’m nearly ready to flip my lid (two English idioms you’ll learn more about in a moment).

Understanding and knowing how to accurately use idioms in English allow you to describe an exact situation or a precise feeling in a more efficient and creative way.

Not only that, but you can also be more concise in English communication. Idioms help you describe complicated emotions in just a few words. They perfectly describe something complex in a simple way.

Recently members of my Confident Women Community explored more than 30 idioms to express feelings in English - feelings of frustration, anger, joy, and calm and their subtleties.
