Since emotions have a significant impact on human cognitive functions like perception,
attention, learning, memory, reasoning, and problem solving, I believe that they play a
significant role in how we feel about ourselves. This is especially true when we are
experiencing strong emotions, which can also have a significant impact on how we act,
think, and perceive the world. Emotion has a particularly potent impact on attention,
modifying its selectivity in particular and influencing behavior and action motivation.
As a result, all of these characteristics are some of the things that could affect how one i
s as a person and as a human.
