indignations
Feelings of offense
Indignations is the plural of indignation, referring to multiple instances or expressions of anger aroused by something perceived as unjust, unfair, or unworthy.
While indignation as a mass noun typically doesn't take a plural, indignations appears when emphasizing separate occasions of such feeling: His repeated indignations over minor slights grew tiresome.
The word carries a sense of moral righteousness—the anger feels justified rather than petty.
