Feels

What does Feels mean?

Feelings

‘Feels’ is a short form of the word ‘feelings’. It’s a term used to refer to emotions, such as joy or grief. It’s a word that you’ll often come across on social media platforms like LinkedIn, Reddit, and Snapchat, especially when someone is responding to a touching or emotional post.

It’s also used in our day-to-day talks when you get teary-eyed for no apparent reason or when you’re chopping vegetables that make your eyes water. The phrase ‘right in the feels’ started to gain popularity on the internet in 2012 and eventually, got shortened to just ‘feels’.
