There are many words in the English language that make you feel sad and depressed. This goes for kids and adults. You need to understand their actual meaning to improve your vocabulary and know what these words or phrases mean. 

This article will discuss the ten saddest and most depressing words/phrases spoken in English. So let’s start with the saddest words and phrases. 

Sad Words

In this list, we have concluded some of the saddest words used frequently in the English Language. 

Goodbye

Goodbye can refer to the end of a relationship or, in some cases, the end of a relationship. “You say (goodbye) all the time, but you never know which one is the last,” 

When breaking up, it can sometimes refer to finality or the end. The worst part about saying goodbye is that you never know when it will be your last time saying it to that person.

Discouraged

Suppose you are trying to do something, at your job or as a hobby or whatever. However, it is getting complicated, or your energy level gets low whenever you think about it. In the end, if you’re not getting appreciated or you’re just having a bad day, you can say, “I’m feeling discouraged about the recent project we are working on.”

You will eventually get a sad and upset feeling when you are having a bad day. 

Miserable

Miserable in vocabulary means very sad. You usually use this sentence when something disappointing or sad happens to you or someone you love happens. However, if you want to express your feelings more accurately, you can use “miserable” as a word. 

So, I lost my job and haven’t been able to find a replacement, and I’m miserable. I’m unhappy because my boyfriend or girlfriend broke up with me. It’s usually for something serious and depressing in your life.

Lonely/Loneliness

It is yet one of the most depressing and distressing emotions you can ever feel. If you’re lonely, there is no one to listen to you, or you don’t have anyone with whom you can share your feelings. 

You can’t use the word lonely/loneliness in a positive perspective. On the contrary, it is considered one of the English language’s saddest words. 

Heartbroken

To be heartbroken is to be in excruciating pain. According to the dictionary, a heartbroken person is “crushed with sorrow or grief,” according to the dictionary. It’s a difficult word to say. But, those who have experienced heartbreak understand how powerful this word is. We’ve all been there—you know what it’s like as soon as you feel it, and you can’t wait for it to pass. It is usually used on 14th Feb.

Only those who have experienced heartbreak can truly understand how powerful this word is. And the feelings that end up driving them. You will realize when the time has come for you to be heartbroken.
