- Arms crossed
- Squinting eyes
- Lowered, angry brows
- Cheeks sucked in
- Shaking the head
- Raised voice
- Blowing out a noisy breath
- Going on the offensive and verbally attacking the accuser
- Deflecting blame
- Flinching, jerking back
- Difficulty being articulate, stuttering
- Splaying a hand across the chest, mouth gaping
- Spots of color in the cheeks

It's just excellent. I only found your site yesterday, but I've read so much of it already, and I didn't realise you were still updating! This post has just made me pretty happy for that reason. :)
How about someone experiencing an adrenalin rush for a future post? Because excitement can be felt negatively too, and it seemes like most of the entries under 'excitement' are positive - adrenalin is either, it seems...
Thank you again!
Thursday again!!!!! I love defensive. It's a great emotion!
I'm glad you found us, Parakeva! Adrenalin sounds good to me. :-)
Thanks PJ!
Oh! Oh! you take requests. How about resigned?
Btw, if you ever self-publish this blog through Lulu or whatever, I'd definitely buy the book.
I've been reading and learning for a while. Thanks for being such a wonderful resource.
Can I just tell you that your thesaurus is PERFECT for editing? It really is. I love to go back and add details for emotions of my characters, and your thesaurus is a great help!
Thank you!
I like this. I'm just doing 'defensive' in an extensive rewrite and once again, your site comes in handy. Looking around at others to garner their approval and support is a good one -- I hadn't thought of that!
