"they are words associated with a negative outcome"
But also, negative feelings are learned from associating negative outcomes. Words and feelings can both be learned.

I'm not sure that we can say that feelings are learned.
When you get burned, you learn to fear fire.
Sure, humans come with some baked in weights, but others are learned.
I think the associations are learned but not the feelings are learned.
Like some people feel great joy when an American flag burns while others feel upset.
If you accidentally delete a friends hard drive you'll feel sad but if you were intentionally sabotaging a company you'll feel proud at the success.
i.e. joy and happiness are innate not learned.
See how clinical socio- and psychopaths behave. They only emulate feelings (particularly when it's convenient for them) but they don't have the capacity to feel in their brain. The same is true for LLMs.
