What Does Hunger Feel Like To You?
 

I don't feel hunger in the customary way, that is a sensation of emptiness in the stomach. If I am a little hungry I feel slightly lightheaded and if I'm really hungry I get nauseated. After a certain point I am literally too hungry to eat, if that makes any sense. Also when I'm hungry I get really grumpy and want to throw things and curse out the world.

What about the rest of you? Is hunger a stomach sensation for you is it similar to how it makes me feel?

No i don't feel sick. I just hear my stomach growling and feel a pit/emptyness in my stomach.

I associate hunger with feeling light-headed and weak. If my stomach feels empty and it's not mealtime, I just fill it with water or tea.

Like you, if I get REALLY hungry I turn into a b!tch monster and hate everyone and everything. I've only ever been SUPER HUNGRY once, and I felt my insides eating themselves and literally could not think about anything else.

Most of my hunger is emotional so usually it's my mouth that "feels" hungry. When I'm physically hungry, I definitely get the light-headed/dizzy feeling, a little queasy and when I stand up fast, things get dark. (Not in a dangerous way, I just have very low blood pressure.)

When I am hungry - really hungry, not bored-hungry, I feel an emptiness in my stomach and it growls at me.

When I am teaching I often get kids coming up to me half an hour or so before lunch and saying they feel sick - magically it goes away with lunch inside them, so maybe hunger feels like nausea for some, or maybe they are too young to differentiate.

I just always say "See how you feel after lunch!"

I eat every 2.5 to 3 hours so I rarely feel very hungry. But I guess when I do, its just an empty stomach feeling!

I feel growling and yeah, I guess empty. It's hard to explain, like it's hollow and slightly like an empty throbbing. I don't know, it's hard to explain. I can also feel my stomach acid moving around when it's empty lol. It doesn't feel unpleasant to me at all. I can feel hunger and still not want to eat, like usually in the mornings

Growling stomach, kind of a gnawing discomfort (it only turns into pain if I let it go too long without eating) - it isn't awful; just enough sensation to remind myself that it's time to eat. And that's the point!
