An emotional vocabulary is one in which language accurately describes how you are feeling. 

As adults, we are expected to be better adjusted and stable. Over time, feelings that may have once been part of our emotional vocabulary may suddenly be considered weaknesses by others. As result, we may instinctively restrict our vocabulary to anything but the broadest terms (such as "angry" or "happy") or adopt lingo (like "cool" or "awesome") to abstract and generalize our feelings.

As a result, we will often forget how to express our emotions verbally and will instead use emojis or internet slang like "LOL" or "ROFL" to clarify these feelings. These behaviors are not only adopted by kids but encouraged culturally as the very speed of communications shortcuts vocabulary and expression to anything but the mere essentials.

We can help ourselves to improve our vocabulary not only building sophisticated emotional vocabularies but approaching feelings and relationships in a more sophisticated and well-adjusted way.
