> as Elaine pointed out, "I felt unheard" sound like a perfectly civil "I" statement while "I felt ignored" does not appear to me to have the same meaning since "I felt ignored" sounds as if there is an implied subject. I admit it's better than "I've been ignored." But ignored doesn't sound like an internal state, it sounds like.... oooh, I need my husband.
Hmm, is the difference that "ignored" would be deliberate, but "unheard" wouldn't necessarily be?
