What Are Positive Emotions?

Positive emotions are emotions that we typically find pleasurable to experience.

Positive emotions are pleasant responses to our environment (or our own internal
dialogue) that are more complex and targeted than simple sensations.

What Are Negative Emotions?

On the other hand, negative emotions are those that we typically do not find
pleasurable to experience. Negative emotions can be defined as “as an unpleasant or
unhappy emotion which is evoked in individuals to express a negative effect towards an
event or person”

If an emotion discourages and drags you down, then it’s most likely a negative emotion.
