List of positive feelings. Negative emotions - how to deal with them

Everything that happens to us causes a certain reaction, feelings. This is a special kind of relationship of each of us to phenomena. And depending on whether they correspond to our needs or not, various kinds of human feelings and emotions are expressed. They allow us to find out what emotions a person feels towards us. We reveal his thoughts, moral principles and internal features. And everything that happens to us, or around us, regarding other people, we express through our emotions and feelings.

Without the formation of emotions and feelings, the development of a single person is impossible. Even mentally retarded people still show at least some kind of emotions, feelings. After all, they, too, can cry, laugh, be indifferent - which also represents a certain emotion. The qualities we describe are formed in the process of development of the consciousness of each individual, during upbringing, acquiring education, developing culture and many other factors.

Basic functions of the senses

We have different senses, and each of them has certain functions that everyone needs to become familiar with in more detail.

1. Signaling - as soon as the body needs something, there is a need - an alarm immediately occurs, stimulating the activity of the human body.
2. Motivational - this type of feeling is a motivator for action, in the behavior of each person.
3. Evaluative - thanks to these feelings, we can understand how significant or not what is happening in the world around us is.
4. Expressive - non-verbal types of communication.
5. Synthesizing the basics of the image - stimuli are solid and structural, reflected by our feelings.

We have modal, conscious, deep, lasting feelings and distinguish them by intensity, hereditary origin, conditions and forms of development, functions performed. We distinguish them by the way they affect our body, the processes in the psyche with which feelings are associated, the subject content, according to our needs, etc.

1. Each person without fail (if he is normal) has two types of feelings - lower and higher. The lowest include those that are associated with the satisfaction of physiological, physical needs.
2. Higher feelings are those that accompany our emotional, intellectual and moral essence. Thanks to them, we manifest our spiritual world and analyze, comprehend the meaning of life, evaluate the world around us and individuals.

Kinds of feelings

As we already know, a person has two main types and their subspecies. Let's study each of the main ones carefully.

Moral, moral essence of man. Thanks to them, each of us experiences different values ​​or opposite phenomena, intentions. The degree of experiences, their result depends on how moral feelings correspond to our needs, how interesting they are to us and society. Such feelings can manifest themselves with a certain correlation of actions and actions of people according to the norms that are acceptable in modern society.

These include those that are familiar to each of the readers from childhood: camaraderie, friendship, love, affection for specific people, society. Each of these feelings we must show in relation to others, which is called duty. If we cease to observe these qualities - respect, camaraderie, friendliness, etc., then we will definitely experience certain negative feelings - shame, resentment, anger, remorse. Pity, jealousy, envy, greed, etc. also belong to negative feelings of a moral, ethical nature.

Aesthetic sensations are feelings of beauty. The most typical example is the perception of cultural works of art - natural phenomena, people, plants. Such feelings develop through the development of art. We listen to beautiful music and develop musical sensations in ourselves. Due to the feelings of beauty, the beautiful, we also develop our attitude towards the ugly, because we know the difference between the first and the second and understand harmony, what is sublime and tragic. These feelings include malice, irony, humor, drama, tragedy, mockery.

Intellectual Feelings develop due to the desire of a person to know the world, his activity. With the development of cognitive skills, satisfaction of our own ambitions in terms of curiosity, with the solution of complex problems, the search for truth, each of us "acquires" intellectual feelings.

There is an opinion that the mood of each of us can be compared with lenses for glasses, and multi-colored ones, in which reality is reflected in a deformed form. Depending on the mood, we can either exaggerate the significance of ongoing events, or, on the contrary, downplay it. And what is remarkable, we all understand that we simply cannot just get rid of a certain mood at the moment.

The only thing that is subject to us is to learn to influence the decisions we make, their quality in moments of mood swings. But let's still figure out what it is - a mood.

According to psychologists, mood is a certain process in which we show our attitude to the current situation in life. It can be long and affect the emotional background. Sometimes the smallest trouble, a word, a look is enough for a person, how his mood can be spoiled for a whole day, a week. But, as a rule, over time, the mood returns to normal, if not provoked. However, it is impossible to miss the damage to the mood without any reasons and reasons.

Apparently, in our life there are moments due to which the quality of our existence deteriorates. That is, a negative attitude is an indicator that you need to pay attention to.

What is the psychology of human mood

We want to note right away the fact that most of us go on the “cause” of our negative attitude. Moreover, we feel comfortable in this state and look for excuses. Why is this happening? Because it's much easier than fighting a negative mood and bouncing back.

Few people know that the word “mood” comes from the Old Slavonic “we are Troy”. That is, the word reflects the unity of the soul, spirit and body of a person. And if each of them in relation to each other is in harmony, resonance, then “birds sing” in a person’s soul. As soon as one of the mood components falls out, the mood deteriorates.

5 stages of mood

In order for a person to manifest this or that mood, 5 stages of its formation are necessary.

We evaluate reality. This moment happens in an instant and depends on what our internal guidelines, tasks and values ​​are. For this reason, we most often cannot understand why we became sad, upset, and began to worry. Often we say to ourselves "sixth sense", "intuition" and of course, we often make mistakes, but sometimes we hit the mark.

Ways of interpreting reality. Having felt a certain attitude, we immediately look for a moment by which we confirm the changes in sensations. After all, it’s not for nothing that they say that “it matters not what happens to us, but how we interpret it all.”

dominant emotion. Whatever our mood, it is most often based on the dominant emotion, which affects the overall emotional background. It is fully consistent with our interpretation. Example: “It’s raining outside the window, which prevents us from calmly going to the beach and sunbathing.” That is, we interpret the moment as negative and will be in a bad mood all day. If we say: “It’s raining outside, we can have a pleasant day at home, watch our favorite series, drink warm grog.” Here the basis is positive, because of which the mood will continue to be only good.

physical moments. The mood, as we know, is reflected in the emotional background. And if it is bad, then there is a feeling of heaviness, a headache, the rate of breathing, heartbeat, etc. are disturbed. With a positive, each of us feels lightness, a surge of vivacity, energy, comfort.

Stimulus to action. The mood encourages a person to make some mistakes, make decisions, that is, actions. Or, a certain attitude encourages to be inactive, to do nothing. As in the case of rain outside the window. If the mood is spoiled because of him, we are not going anywhere. Otherwise, we immediately set the table, cook, have fun, play, have fun.

These stages of mood are very subject to our leadership. And if we learn to influence our own mood even a little, we can control our actions. Of course, this is subject to few people. To do this, you must be a very strong, strong-willed person with a steel "rod" inside. Try it too. Start by responding to simple problems in a positive way. “Let it rain, but how beautiful nature is, washed with clean drops from heaven. And what kind of air, it simply makes you dizzy and encourages you to think about something good.

human emotions

Various phenomena arise around us and our attitude towards them, sensations, are emotions. Until now, there is no exact statement about what it is. Since the phenomenon is not fully understood. But most psychologists are of the opinion that they are a kind of regulators of our activity with you, they reflect the rationale of situations that develop throughout life. Because of them, we suffer, get angry, worry, worry, fear, enjoy, get irritated, satisfied, etc. More often, they control the internal activities of a person.

Where did emotions come from

The sensations we study have evolved over the course of human evolution. And from the simplest instincts of our ancestors, both motor and organic, they became a complex process. And many of them are no longer tied to any situation. They are expressed as individual assessments of the attitude to circumstances and the individual's participation in them. For example, rage, fear, pain and others provide each of us with survival on Earth and are a signal for action.

The value of emotions in human life

They are very important to all of us. It is thanks to emotions that we can show joy, pleasure, satisfaction, resentment, sadness, anxiety, fear, anxiety, surprise, admiration, etc. They may be accompanied by facial expressions and bodily signals, such as redness, pale skin, and gesticulation. If a person has no emotions, then this is a socially passive being who does not see the point in his actions. Because of this, indifference, detachment arises. It happens that a period of apathy occurs in almost every person, but it is associated with certain situations that have developed. As soon as everything returns to normal, the person becomes again the same as it should be - caring, active, etc.

Emotions are signals

We would not be able to live a day if our emotions did not give us signals. This is how we know what state our body is in. That is, if we feel good, joyful, satisfied, that is, positively, a positive type of emotion lives in us. Dissatisfaction, annoyance, irritation, resentment, anger and other negative emotions "speak" that we are unhappy. Thanks to emotions, we protect ourselves from overloads, contribute to the preservation of the energy necessary for life in the body.

Types of emotions

There are several types of emotions: positive, negative and neutral, as well as affect.

1. The positive ones include: joy, admiration, surprise, love, kindness, empathy, mercy, daydreaming, curiosity, etc.
2. Negative - anger, hatred, annoyance, irritation, hostility, indignation, resentment, fear, shame and others.
3. Neutrals include curiosity, amazement, indifference, and others.

It is important to note that any emotion causes a certain resonance and other moments are included in the process of emotionalization. Previously, it was believed that only humans could do this. But as it turned out, some types of plants and animals behave in the same way.

Basic emotions are embedded in each of us, but a wide range of sensations is not available to everyone. We all heard about such a type of people as "thick-skinned", "impenetrable". They do not have the sharpness of emotions, and react to events that cause others joy, tears, completely indifferent. You can’t judge for this - it’s just how their psyche is arranged. They would be happy to rejoice as well as others, to react to events with everyone in the same way, but their inner activity is constrained.

Affect is a separate type of human emotion. This is a strong, powerful emotional state of a person that affects the rationality of thinking. The only thing he is capable of is to act according to the stereotype - he becomes aggressive, runs or freezes.

Nature has endowed us with certain sensations and instincts when unforeseen dangerous situations arise. Someone runs away from a big lion, another stands still in fear, and the third attacks an animal that is obviously more powerful than he.

The sad person's gait changes - it becomes lethargic, slow. On the face of a grimace - the corners of the mouth are lowered, the eyes are "extinct". In a state of aggression, the body immediately turns into a protective object - it straightens up, tenses up.

An interesting fact: scientists have proven that in extreme moments, when there is a serious threat to human life, blood thickens. For this reason, you can avoid a lot of blood loss and be saved.

Intense joy can also be responsible for the surge in blood pressure. But the body in this case also secured itself, and a joyful person, as a rule, strengthens the tone that protects the body.

There is also a phenomenon called alexithymia. In this case, the person does not experience any emotions at all. Moreover, such types are not even capable of not only manifesting, but also possessing feelings. He replaces them with thoughts. For them, the main thing is to find out the meaning of life, and not waste time on experiences. Where does this "pathology" come from?

Healthy people have emotions and feelings. Everything happens due to the influence of the outside world on us, and the person responds, that is, reacts. He manifests his thoughts, inner world and colors them with emotions. And if in childhood a child watched adults who were "stingy" with emotions and feelings, he adopts a "contagious" example. It can also be a certain warehouse of character received as a “legacy” from parents.

Most often, the stronger sex suffers from alexithymia. The reason for this is learning from childhood to be able to restrain one's impulses, feelings, to be a “man”. They are not allowed to cry, suffer, be sad, real men do not do that. And with age, in men, this trait develops and turns into what is called "insensitive chump."

Human feelings and emotions

The two concepts are very related. And everything that happens inside each of us is reflected precisely by emotions and feelings. But there are times when we find it difficult or we are afraid to show emotion, and for this reason we confuse it with our feelings. Or there are types who are unable to express at certain moments what they feel. Why is this happening? Is this an insensitive person or is there a reason for such behavior?

We note right away that a person who is not able to identify his feelings and emotions cannot make important decisions for his life. The reason for inability can be various factors, but the first place is occupied by social ones.

Feelings and emotions can express the same thing at the same time. For example, there is an emotion of joy and there is a feeling of joy. They don't exist without each other. In extreme cases, a person can restrain himself, but the inner world still rejoices from “two sides”. Joy arises when there is a feeling of satisfaction of one's needs. For example, a person rejoices when he eats deliciously, takes a walk, meets a dear person, receives a gift, etc. Satisfaction is directly related to the object, for which there is no alternative. That is, if a person wants to drink tea, and eat only coffee, then he will be dissatisfied.

Passion is a poorly controlled feeling that not everyone manages to cope with. Physiology plays a role here. She "dictates" how a man or woman should behave, and if an emotional background is added to it that induces passion, then the question is "closed."

Let's digress from feelings with Yandex Music:

How many feelings does a person have

There is not a second that you and I do not experience certain feelings. Thanks to them, we can navigate through life and satisfy our needs, feel danger and enjoy. Even in ancient times, the great Aristotle singled out the main 5 human senses and no one has yet refuted them:

• smell;
• hearing;
• vision;
• touch;
• taste.

The only thing that some scientists have achieved is to increase their number to 30. That is, they have identified subspecies of all five human senses. For example, such a feeling as taste also has separate "branchings": the taste of sweet, salty, sour, bitter. There are also branches of vision according to receptors - cones and rods. The former perceive light, the latter color.

But in addition to the five main sense organs, it was also attached:

1. Thermoception is the sensation of warmth or cold on the skin.
2. Nacioception is the feeling of pain.
3. Equibrioception is the sensation of movement, speed and balance. In this sense, the vestibular apparatus, located inside the human ear, is involved.
4. Proprioception is the feeling of your body, its position and individual components.

There is also a conservative approach to the definition of human sense organs. These include:

• light - vision;
• mechanical - hearing, touch of a person;
• chemical - smell, taste.

Studying the short list, we understand that there are many more feelings. Otherwise, we would be boring and uninteresting creatures. Everyone is especially interested in the "sixth" sense, called intuition. Agree, it has repeatedly saved people from death and saved humanity. For example, in the 1980s, the center for monitoring the sky over the Russian Federation received a signal that the United States had sent a missile with a nuclear warhead. According to the rules, the officer was obliged to inform the leadership and, of course, press the answer button. But something kept him, and, thank God! As it turned out, the information was false. If not for his intuition. Nature has endowed us with everything that protects us, allows us to empathize, enjoy and enjoy life.

All for now.
Sincerely, Vyacheslav.

To make it easier to determine what feelings are, it is best to imagine a person without feelings, and then the time comes, suddenly bam, and they wake up in him, and even begin to influence his life. The previous state can be compared to a small room where all the curtains are drawn, and he hides from himself, thereby drowning out his feelings with anything.

At the present time, there is no urgent need to seek solitude from one's own experiences. They do not deceive, and give an opportunity to understand how to behave in a given situation. Thanks to the surging feelings, you can determine the outcome of future events.

The very first who dared to describe the five basic human senses was Aristotle. It was this eminent scientist who was able to give his own definition of this, even despite the fact that he repeatedly got into a mess, arguing that people think with their hearts, and bees should thank decomposing bull carcasses for their appearance in the world. But this time he hit the mark. Therefore, below is a list, thanks to which you can get acquainted with what feelings are. This is the generally accepted view, including that of Aristotle.

1. Vision - we see everything that happens around us, experiencing what we see each in our own way.
2. Taste - we can determine the taste qualities not only of products, but also of who and how they dress, etc.
3. Rumor - hearing any sound or saying, we can rejoice, get angry, panic, etc.
4. Touch is the sensation of touching something.
5. The sense of smell is a response to the perception of various kinds of odors.
6. Thermoception is the feeling of warmth or its lack by the surface of the skin.
7. Equibrioception is the control of balance, which is determined by the fluid cavities of our inner ear.
8. Nociception - pain sensations in the skin, joints and other organs of our body. For some strange reason, this category does not include the brain. This is most likely due to the fact that it lacks pain-sensitive receptors. The brain is not the cause of headaches, as some people think.
9. Proprioception is the sensation of one's own body. For example, with our eyes closed, we can clearly determine the location of our body parts, just by waving our hand in the air. In any case, a person will know where his palm is currently located in relation to other parts of the body.

What can you feel for a friend

What are the feelings towards a friend? It happens that a person does not even suspect the existence of friendship, but he is drawn to someone, he is overwhelmed with feelings, and begins to fantasize:

1. I am brotherly drawn to this man.
2. We just have a normal relationship.
3. We're just work colleagues.
4. I am interested in spending time with this person, etc.

At the same time, anxiety is felt, on a subconscious level, anxiety, guilt. These doubts can completely spoil the relationship. It becomes especially uncomfortable when this friendship is mistakenly perceived as love. In this case, friends may think about the further development of relations, up to sexual ones, or simply leave.

But in any case, the feeling of a friend's elbow in many cases inspires confidence that you are not alone, you feel the support of a friend. And this means that in return he can receive the same friendly devotion.

What are the feelings for a girl

What could be easier than telling her that you love her. This phrase is considered the most correct when expressing one's feelings, at the same time showing how strong they are. But there are other ways of such recognition. Here are some feelings for a girl, and how they can be expressed in words:

1. I'm so lucky to have met you!
2. I love your tender hands so much.
3. I love your accommodating nature, etc.

These various statements express love for precisely those features of a partner that cause certain feelings of euphoria. A partner is always pleased to hear how important he is to you. Be sure to tell the girl how much positive she brings to your life cycle. By this you show how valuable, loved and necessary it is to you.

If your beloved girl improves and simplifies your life, influences her with her own, then she should be made clear that she is desirable, valuable and loved by you.

What do you feel for the guy

What are the feelings for a guy? This can be called ordinary enthusiasm, when a sort of sympathy is shown to him, and possibly interest. And when people stay together for a long period of time, but without love for each other, and do not think of themselves as separate, then this is called deep affection.

But the strongest feeling is love for a guy, which not everyone can experience. According to some sources, today over 90% of those living together do not feel love for a guy.

Mutual love, as such, between modern people and young people practically does not exist. It is because of this that a large number of failed marriage unions, which fall apart in just a couple of years, and then children, if any, suffer.

What can you feel for a man

Now let's try to figure out what feelings there are for a man, especially if he is loved.

1. Yearning is too complicated a state of mind, because of which the day can go down the drain, all thoughts are only about him, and even you lose sleep. You can yearn for various reasons, for example, because of a quarrel or when he is not around. Because of longing, you become indifferent to everything that surrounds you, overcome by a feeling of sadness, loneliness and sorrow.
2. Joy- is the most beautiful experience that can be experienced at the sight of a beloved man. You rejoice at every small detail that happens in your life.
3. Anxiety will come when it comes to what is happening to him there. You begin to worry about his health, state of mind, etc.
4. Confidence- there is nothing more than a solid foundation for strong relationships. It is a very fragile feeling that can be lost in a matter of seconds. It's not easy to earn it.
5. Jealousy- Because of her, people who love each other disperse. After all, each person has this feeling to varying degrees. It is necessary to wage an uncompromising struggle with it, otherwise it will interfere with a full life. But a little jealousy for a more piquant relationship does not fit.

What are the senses of humor

Try to ask anyone you meet if he has a good sense of humor, then in most cases the answer will be positive, which will be difficult to refute. The whole point of the question lies in the fact that the possession of the ability to joke and the receptivity of jokes for each person is individual. This is precisely the reason why one and the same joke will seem worthless, and to another, well, just excellent, and everyone here will be right in their own way.

Let's go back to Sigmund Freud's famous quote: "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but a joke is not always just a joke." It is this expression that gives the answer to the question “What are the senses of humor?”, For they are divided into different types, and have a strong connection with the personality of a person.

In 2003, psychologist and researcher Rod Martin conducted a questionnaire with which he was able to identify up to four types of senses of humor:

1. affiliate type.
2. Self-destructive type.
3. optimistic type.
4. Aggressive type.

About feelings between a man and a woman

What are the feelings between a man and a woman is not difficult to say, for example, love. But sometimes it is questioned, since a third person may appear between them.

Or maybe just friendship, but this is more often the case when a woman looks like a man, and they cannot like each other. But this barrier can sometimes be removed by the amount of alcohol you drink.

Sometimes in a relationship everything is confusing to such an extent that it is not easy to figure it out on your own. It can be just love or just dislike, and this does not interfere with living together. In the process of this, there may be an accumulation of aggressive emotions characteristic of this pair of people who at a certain period of time were in love with each other, and then, by the will of some case, the feelings faded, leaving only the bitterness of memories.

In most cases, when you ask a woman what caused her unsuccessful marriage, you can always hear the same statements:

1. Why did I have to marry him.
2. I killed the best years of my life path, etc.

But, when a man is a true gentleman, he will try to assure her that she had one of the best years of their life together.

What are the feelings for the picture

It is human nature not only to perceive the environment, but also to influence it. All the phenomena and objects that are happening around us draw our attention to themselves with an individual attitude.

So what are the feelings a person has when performing certain actions? For example, when with friends, reading a book, listening to a piece of music ... The answer is obvious: a person at this time can be happy or sad, inspired or upset. Similarly, there is an expression of feelings for painting.

What is hidden behind the word "painting"?

One of the legends says that when the Greek artist Appeles painted a picture with a bunch of grapes, he left it on the terrace. And out of nowhere, birds began to flock to her from all over to peck at the painted grapes.

This legend once again confirms that the artist paints the living world around us on the canvas. Therefore, the word "painting" has such a simple and uncomplicated meaning - the artist writes life. It is this striking similarity that evokes in us all sorts of emotions and experiences.

What do you feel when you love

Try to close your eyes for a moment and imagine that your loved one has no place in your life. Well, how will you feel the lack of it? By the way, this is a serious question. Love has many obstacles, but will the absence of a loved one cause you anxiety?

God forbid your loved one gets sick, will you be with him? Psychologists consider this question vital. After all, it is not without reason that when entering into marriage they take a promise to be there not only in health, but also in illness. None of us is immune from health problems, and they arise exactly when you do not expect them. Is your half in this case able to stay with you for the rest of your life?

How do you feel when there is bad talk about your loved one, even if you had a fight with him? When you show anger towards a person, it is at this moment that the manifestation of real feelings for him is expressed. Do you feel resentment from malicious words that sound against a loved one? If you have true love for him, then even if you are offended by him, you will defend him from the attacks of others. This is what it feels like when you truly love.

To understand what feelings are, you need to understand by what criteria they can be evaluated. Criteria is another basis for classification.

Criteria serve to ensure that experiences can be measured, characterized and called a word, that is, defined.

There are three criteria for feelings:

1. valency (tone);
2. intensity (strength);
3. sthenicity (activity or passivity).

The table of feelings No. 1 allows you to characterize any complex experience:

For example, a person may experience a positive strong sthenic experience. It could be love. If the intensity of sensations is weak, it is just sympathy.

The table of feelings, characterizing experiences, does not allow us to call them a word. The name can only be guessed. A person does not always have enough knowledge and experience to decide how to correctly name the emotional excitement experienced. This is not surprising, since there are a lot of them. However, some people cannot even name ten feelings, and yet so many, on average, a person experiences every day.

The third basis for classifying socially conditioned experiences is based on the underlying emotion.

American psychologist Paul Ekman identified seven basic emotions:

• joy;
• sadness;
• anger;
• fear;
• astonishment;
• disgust;
• contempt.

The table of feelings No. 2 involves the search for the name of the experienced emotional experience, starting from the first four basic emotions:

The second table of feelings complements the first. Using these two, one can understand what kind of power has taken possession of the mind and heart, how to describe and call it. And this is the first step towards awareness.

List of moral, intellectual, aesthetic feelings

To the question: “what are the feelings”, each person can give his own answer. Someone often experiences strong and deep feelings, while for someone they are light and short. The ability to feel depends on the temperament, character, principles, priorities and life experience of the individual.

Most often, feelings are classified depending on the sphere in which the object of experience is located:

• Moral

These are sympathy and antipathy, respect and contempt, affection and alienation, love and hatred, as well as feelings of gratitude, collectivism, friendship and conscience. They arise in relation to the actions of other people or their own.

They are conditioned by moral norms accepted in society and acquired by the individual in the process of socialization, as well as his views, beliefs, worldview. If someone else's or one's actions correspond to moral standards, satisfaction arises; if not, indignation arises.

• intellectual

A person also has such experiences that arise in the process of mental activity or in connection with its result: joy, satisfaction from the process and result of work, discoveries, inventions. It is also inspiration and bitterness from failure.

• aesthetic

Emotional unrest arises when perceiving or creating something beautiful. A person experiences incredible sensations when he sees the beauty of the Earth or the power of natural phenomena.

A person feels a sense of beauty when looking at a small child or an adult harmoniously built person. Beautiful works of art and other creations of human hands can cause delight and elation.

Since this classification does not reveal the entire palette of feelings, it is customary to classify them for several more reasons.

What is the difference between feelings and emotions

All people experience emotional experiences and excitement, but not everyone knows how to name them and express them in words. But it is precisely the knowledge of what feelings are that helps not only to correctly determine, but also to control, manage them.

Feelings are a complex of experiences associated with people, objects or events. They express a subjective evaluative attitude towards real or abstract objects.

People in everyday life and some psychologists use the words "feelings" and "emotions" as synonymous words. Others say that feelings are a kind of emotions, namely higher emotions. Still others share these concepts: emotions are classified as mental states, and feelings as mental properties.

Yes, there is a direct relationship between them, because they are human experiences. Without mental unrest, the individual would not live, but exist. They fill life with meaning, make it diverse.

But still, there are significant differences between feelings and emotions:

• Emotions are innate and instinctive reactions of the body to changes in the environment, feelings are social experiences developed in the process of upbringing and learning. A person learns to feel, everyone knows how to express emotions from the moment of birth.
• Emotions are difficult to control by willpower, feelings are easier to manage, despite their complexity and ambiguity. Most of them arise in a person's mind, emotions are often not recognized, as they are associated with the need to satisfy an instinctive need.
• The feeling changes, develops and fades away, varies in strength, manifests itself in different ways, can develop into its opposite, emotion is a certain reaction. For example, if a person feels hatred for another person, it is possible that this experience will develop into love, and the emotion of fear is always fear, regardless of the object (it can be unreasonable). Fear is either there or it isn't.
• Emotions have no subject correlation, feelings do. They are experienced in relation to something or someone differently. For example, loving a child is not the same as loving a spouse. And for example, bewilderment is always expressed in the same way, regardless of what specifically causes it.
• Feelings are a stronger motivator than emotions. They encourage, inspire, push to commit acts in relation to the object to which they are directed. Emotions only give rise to actions in the form of responses.
• Emotions are short and superficial, albeit vivid manifestations, and feelings are always complex and strong emotional disturbances.

It can be difficult to determine when a combination of emotions will give rise to a feeling, and what higher experience is expressed in a particular series of emotional manifestations. These are close, accompanying phenomena, but still they need to be distinguished. A person is responsible for his highest emotions and for the actions that they entail.

How to manage your feelings

When strong emotions and worries take possession of a person, even if they are positive, the psychological balance is disturbed.

For psychological health and well-being, you need to be able to measure how to enjoy positive feelings, and be upset by negative ones.

To cope with excessive sentiments that prevent you from responding adequately and acting reasonably, you need to:

1. Characterize emotional sensations: determine valency, intensity, sthenicity (Table of feelings No. 1).
2. Determine the underlying emotion. Choose what the experience is more like: fear, sadness, anger or joy (Table of Feelings No. 2).
3. Decide on the name and try to understand the experiences on your own.

Sometimes spiritual impulses take possession of a person so much that he literally cannot sleep or eat. Prolonged strong experiences are stressful for the body. It is not for nothing that nature intended that even a bright period of falling in love, when the blood is oversaturated with adrenaline, oxytocin and dopamine, does not last long, developing into a calm and thorough love.

Each person must have his own table of feelings if he wants to be a conscious person.

The eternal dispute between the mind and the heart is the question of the ability to regulate emotional, sensual impulses through the mind.

Experiencing deep and powerful experiences, a person lives life to the fullest. Limiting your sensitivity is unwise, and sometimes simply impossible. It's all about what experiences a person chooses: positive or negative, deep or superficial, real or fake.

Negative emotions are a negative response to an event that is not entirely consistent or completely contradicts the internal attitudes of the person himself.
In fact, a negative emotional reaction is a negative energy aimed at condemning and denying an event. Programs of emotions, or the so-called SHORTS, or instructions on how to act in a given situation, live in the subconscious and memory of a person. SHORTCODES are short and concise instructions on how to act correctly in a given situation, based on the recorded data of previous experience, or based on an associative logical structure.
Depending on the situation, verbal negative emotions of a person are accompanied by non-verbal ones. It can be negative facial expressions, antics, and additional sounds, gestures and glances.
In more detail on the physical level - an emotional outburst and an emotional response, it is actually automatic. If you are rude, anger immediately boils up inside, the energy of anger fills the mind and body. Among other things, with a big emotional outburst, with the help of our endocrine system, a huge amount of various hormones are released into the blood. Using the required amount of hormones as for a verbal response through speech, the mobilization of all kinds of physical forces, the emotion gradually subsides. The destruction of a person occurs by his own hormones, which, depending on the period of life and the condition of the liver and lungs, can remain in the blood and continue to excite both the nervous system and the physical state in every possible way.

Negative emotions directly destroy living feelings such as Love, Gratitude, Respect, Friendship.

Negative emotions destroy relationships and family, pure joy and satisfaction with life and are a direct cause of conflicts and domestic crimes. Consider the main -
Emotion of Resentment, Emotion of Fear, Emotion of Anger, Emotion of Anger, Emotion of Envy, Emotion of Aggression, Emotion of Hatred, Emotion of Irritation, Emotion of Anxiety, Emotion of Guilt, Emotion of Disrespect, Arrogance, Contempt, Emotion of Disgust, Emotion of Jealousy, Emotion of Pity.
There are other equally significant emotions related to negative ones. Very often, the negative properties of a person's character and negative emotions are intertwined into one. So emotions Fear - corresponds to the character property Cowardice, emotions Resentment - corresponds to the character property Resentment, emotions
Aggression - corresponds to the property of the character Aggressiveness. This only means that emotional outbursts and energy began to be reflected in the very essence of a person, to penetrate with their roots even into the characteristic features of a person and his behavior.
Most often, such emotional and characteristic properties of a person are reflected in the most readable part of a person - on the face. We, at the subconscious level, read those very subtle lines, folds on the face of an interlocutor or just an acquaintance, we can say for sure whether he is a scoundrel or not, he is a coward or a brave man, honest or dishonest.
Negative destructive programs that work in the subconscious, which, when implemented by a person, produce negative energy, destroy consciousness, the psyche, everything positive in a person, including life.
Fear programs - produce paralyzing emotions of fear and corresponding destructive energy. Envy programs - produce corrosive emotions of envy and the energy of anger. Programs of aggressiveness - the energy of aggression and violence.

Where do negative emotions come from and how to deal with them and is it necessary?

Each negative emotion is based on its own dangerous program SHORT CODE for execution. Most emotions are transmitted to us with genes, an approximate ratio of 78% is genes, the rest is an acquired reaction and Emotion. Automatically copying and adopting the behavior of parents or one of them is common to all living beings. People easily learn, first of all, what is constantly before their eyes, especially in childhood, the reaction and behavior of their parents, the environment, society. All this is easily recorded and then repeated.

Why are there so many negative emotions? Why is it so difficult to get rid of them? How do they appear? What to do with them?

Where there is a person himself, there are both positive emotions and negative emotions. A person has a great weakness, a gap, a gap in knowledge, beliefs, qualities and skills if some of the emotions are hypertrophied and greatly increased.
You can eliminate and improve yourself, the main thing is to see what exactly is hindering. Very often, either the Coach or the psychoanalyst can make a diagnosis.
The goal of self-development and self-improvement is to step by step replace negative emotions, aggressive and weak reactions with strong, effective, controlled reactions, with positive emotions that do not destroy, but strengthen a person.
In modern society, a huge number of types of negative emotions have accumulated. They are justified by most people and are simply not realized. Most often, people do not understand all the harm of destruction caused by negative emotions, continuing to justify the negative with ridiculous excuses that fear is useful, and jealousy is normal, and animal aggressiveness is natural.

In order to learn how to get rid of negative emotions, in order to learn how to manage yourself, you must first of all stop justifying and broadcasting any internal negativity.

It is necessary to work with negative emotions, work programs and high efficiency with new methods are on our website. A coach is a person and a specialist who seriously and professionally reprograms and gives recommendations to support the level.

Independent work is possible, but it is less effective because most people do not have the necessary knowledge, techniques for changing themselves, methods for reprogramming their subconscious.
And of course, most people lack any self-management skills, the ability to control emotions. People simply do not know what these negative programs and emotions need to be replaced with. There are few serious teachers and competent mentors who can teach this.

It's hard for me to sort out my feelings - a phrase that each of us has come across: in books, in movies, in life (someone's or our own). But it is very important to be able to understand your feelings.

Wheel of Emotions by Robert Plutchik

Some believe - and perhaps they are right - that the meaning of life is in feelings. Indeed, at the end of life, only our feelings, real or in memories, remain with us. Yes, and the measure of what is happening can also be our experiences: the richer, more diverse, brighter they are, the more fully we feel life.

What are feelings? The simplest definition: feelings are what we feel. This is our attitude to certain things (objects). There is also a more scientific definition: feelings (higher emotions) are special mental states that are manifested by socially conditioned experiences that express a person’s long-term and stable emotional relationship to things.

How are feelings different from emotions?

Sensations are our experiences that we experience through the senses, and we have five of them. Sensations are visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory and odor sensations (our sense of smell). With sensations, everything is simple: stimulus - receptor - sensation.

Our consciousness interferes with emotions and feelings - our thoughts, attitudes, our thinking. Emotions are influenced by our thoughts. And vice versa - emotions affect our thoughts. We will discuss these relationships in more detail a little later. But now let's recall once again one of the criteria for psychological health, namely point 10: we are responsible for our feelings, it depends on us what they will be. It is important.

Fundamental emotions

All human emotions can be distinguished by the quality of experience. This aspect of a person's emotional life is most clearly presented in the theory of differential emotions by the American psychologist K. Izard. He identified ten qualitatively different "fundamental" emotions: interest-excitement, joy, surprise, grief-suffering, anger-rage, disgust-disgust, contempt-neglect, fear-horror, shame-shyness, guilt-repentance. K. Izard classifies the first three emotions as positive, the remaining seven as negative. Each of the fundamental emotions underlies a whole range of states that differ in severity. For example, within the framework of such a single-modal emotion as joy, one can single out joy-satisfaction, joy-delight, joy-jubilation, joy-ecstasy, and others. From the combination of fundamental emotions, all other, more complex, complex emotional states arise. For example, anxiety can combine fear, anger, guilt, and interest.

1. Interest - a positive emotional state that contributes to the development of skills and abilities, the acquisition of knowledge. Interest-excitation is a feeling of capture, curiosity.

2. Joy is a positive emotion associated with the ability to sufficiently fully satisfy an urgent need, the probability of which before that was small or uncertain. Joy is accompanied by self-satisfaction and satisfaction with the surrounding world. Obstacles to self-realization are also obstacles to the emergence of joy.

3. Surprise - an emotional reaction that does not have a clearly expressed positive or negative sign to sudden circumstances. Surprise inhibits all previous emotions, directing attention to a new object and can turn into interest.

4. Suffering (grief) - the most common negative emotional state associated with the receipt of reliable (or seeming such) information about the impossibility of satisfying the most important needs, the achievement of which before that seemed more or less likely. Suffering has the character of asthenic emotion and more often occurs in the form of emotional stress. The most severe form of suffering is grief associated with irretrievable loss.

5. Anger - a strong negative emotional state, occurring more often in the form of affect; arises in response to an obstacle in achieving passionately desired goals. Anger has the character of a sthenic emotion.

6. Disgust - a negative emotional state caused by objects (objects, people, circumstances), contact with which (physical or communicative) comes into sharp conflict with the aesthetic, moral or ideological principles and attitudes of the subject. Disgust, when combined with anger, can motivate aggressive behavior in interpersonal relationships. Disgust, like anger, can be directed at oneself, lowering self-esteem and causing self-judgment.

7. Contempt - a negative emotional state that occurs in interpersonal relationships and is generated by a mismatch of life positions, views and behavior of the subject with those of the object of feeling. The latter are presented to the subject as base, not corresponding to accepted moral standards and ethical criteria. A person is hostile to those whom he despises.

8. Fear - a negative emotional state that appears when the subject receives information about the possible damage to his life well-being, about real or imagined danger. In contrast to the suffering caused by direct blocking of the most important needs, a person, experiencing the emotion of fear, has only a probabilistic forecast of possible trouble and acts on the basis of this forecast (often insufficiently reliable or exaggerated). The emotion of fear can be both sthenic and asthenic in nature and proceed either in the form of stressful conditions, or in the form of a stable mood of depression and anxiety, or in the form of affect (horror).

9. Shame - a negative emotional state, expressed in the awareness of the inconsistency of one's own thoughts, actions and appearance not only with the expectations of others, but also with one's own ideas about proper behavior and appearance.

10. Guilt - a negative emotional state, expressed in the realization of the unseemliness of one's own act, thought or feelings and expressed in regret and repentance.

Table of human feelings and emotions

And I also want to show you a collection of feelings, emotions, states that a person experiences during his life - a generalized table that does not pretend to be scientific, but will help you better understand yourself. The table is taken from the site "Communities of dependent and co-dependent", the author is Mikhail.

All human feelings and emotions can be divided into four types. It is fear, anger, sadness and joy. To what type this or that feeling belongs can be found from the table.

And for those who read the article to the end. The purpose of this article is to help you understand your feelings, what they are. Our feelings largely depend on our thoughts. Irrational thinking often underlies negative emotions. By correcting these mistakes (working on thinking), we can be happier and achieve more in life. There is an interesting, but persistent and painstaking work on oneself. You are ready?
