feeling both positive and negative emotions about something at the same time · uncertainty about how to feel
Imagine your favorite coffee shop announces they're closing... 😢 but also opening a new, bigger one across town! 🎉 You're sad about the old spot but excited for the new. That's having mixed feelings! It perfectly captures those moments when joy and sadness, or excitement and worry, all pop up at once. 🤷♀️
💡 **Tip!** This expression is super versatile. You can use it about big life changes, like getting a new job (yay for new opportunities, boo for leaving old colleagues!), or even smaller things, like trying a new flavor of ice cream (it's weird, but also kinda good?). Remember, it's okay not to feel just one way!
When would you most appropriately say 'I have mixed feelings'?
