EXPLANATION
2.1 Feelings
Both emotional experiences and physical sensations — such as hunger or pain — bring
about feelings, according to Psychology Today. Feelings are a conscious experience, although
not every conscious experience, such as seeing or believing, is a feeling.
2.2 Emotions
According to Psychology Today, an emotion “can only ever be felt…through the emotional
experiences it gives rise to, even though it might be discovered through its associated
thoughts, beliefs, desires, and actions.” Emotions are not conscious but instead manifest in
the unconscious mind. These emotions can be brought to the surface of the conscious state
through extended psychotherapy.
A fundamental difference between feelings and emotions is that feelings are experienced
consciously, while emotions manifest either consciously or subconsciously. Some people may
spend years, or even a lifetime, not understanding the depths of their emotions.

2.3 Types of Feelings and Emotions

During the 1970s, psychologist Paul Eckman identified six basic emotions that he suggested
were universally experienced in all human cultures. The emotions he identified were
happiness, sadness, disgust, fear, surprise, and anger. He later expanded his list of basic
emotions to include such things as pride, shame, embarrassment, and excitement.

1. Happiness

Of all the different types of emotions, happiness tends to be the one that people strive for the
most. Happiness is often defined as a pleasant emotional state that is characterized by
feelings of contentment, joy, gratification, satisfaction, and well-being.

This type of emotion is sometimes expressed through:

• Facial expressions: such as smiling

• Body language: such as a relaxed stance
• Tone of voice: an upbeat, pleasant way of speaking

While happiness is considered one of the basic human emotions, the things we think will
create happiness tend to be heavily influenced by culture. For example, pop culture
influences tend to emphasize that attaining certain things such as buying a home or having a
high-paying job will result in happiness.

 2. Sadness

Sadness is another type of emotion often defined as a transient emotional state characterized
by feelings of disappointment, grief, hopelessness, disinterest, and dampened mood.

Like other emotions, sadness is something that all people experience from time to time. In
some cases, people can experience prolonged and severe periods of sadness that can turn
into depression. Sadness can be expressed in a number of ways including:

• Crying
• Dampened mood
• Lethargy

3. Fear

Fear is a powerful emotion that can also play an important role in survival. When you face
some sort of danger and experience fear, you go through what is known as the fight or flight
response.

This response helps ensure that you are prepared to effectively deal with threats in your
environment. Expressions of this type of emotion can include:

• Facial expressions: such as widening the eyes and pulling back the chin
• Body language: attempts to hide or flea from the threat
• Physiological reactions: such as rapid breathing and heartbeat

4. Disgust

This sense of revulsion can originate from a number of things, including an unpleasant taste,
sight, or smell. Researchers believe that this emotion evolved as a reaction to foods that
might be harmful or fatal. When people smell or taste foods that have gone bad, for example,
disgust is a typical reaction.

Disgust is another of the original six basic emotions described by Eckman. Disgust can be
displayed in a number of ways including:

• Body language: turning away from the object of disgust

• Physical reactions: such as vomiting or retching
• Facial expressions: such as wrinkling the nose and curling the upper lip

5. Anger

Anger can be a particularly powerful emotion characterized by feelings of hostility, agitation,

frustration, and antagonism towards others. Like fear, anger can play a part in your body's
fight or flight response.

When a threat generates feelings of anger, you may be inclined to fend off the danger and
protect yourself. Anger is often displayed through:

4
 • Facial expressions: such as frowning or glaring
• Body language: such as taking a strong stance or turning away
• Tone of voice: such as speaking gruffly or yelling

6. Surprise

This type of emotion can be positive, negative, or neutral. An unpleasant surprise, for
example, might involve someone jumping out from behind a tree and scaring you as you walk
to your car at night.

An example of a pleasant surprise would be arriving home to find that your closest friends
have gathered to celebrate your birthday. Surprise is often characterized by:

• Facial expressions: such as raising the brows, widening the eyes, and opening the
mouth
• Physical responses: such as jumping back
• Verbal reactions: such as yelling, screaming, or gasping

2.4 Examples of Feelings and Emotions in Daily Life

Happines:

"I'm so happy today because the weather is very sunny."

"I'm happy to meet old friends."

Sadness:

"I feel sad because I have to say goodbye to my good friend."

"I am saddened to hear the news about natural disasters in the area."

Fear:

"I feel afraid when I have to speak in public."

"I'm afraid that the lights suddenly go out in the middle of the night!"

Disgust:

"I feel disgusted seeing cockroaches in the kitchen."

"I'm disgusted when I have to clean up pet messes."

5
Anger:

"I feel angry when someone belittles my efforts."

"I'm angry because I'm stuck in a terrible traffic jam."

Surprise:

"I was shocked when the lights suddenly went off."

"I was shocked when the balloon suddenly exploded.”

CLOSING

3.1. Conclusion
Understanding feelings and emotions is a complex and individual experience. While
emotions are universal, the way individuals interpret and respond to them varies significantly.
All normal people experience feelings, and these emotions persist, albeit with varying
intensities. Some argue that only humans are consciously aware of their own and others'
emotions, allowing for a unique capacity for emotional understanding. Emotions play a
crucial role in representing value, and their absence results in a loss of a significant way of
understanding and expressing value. Christopher Alexander suggests that wholeness is
definable through feelings, emphasizing the role of emotions in recognizing structures.
3.2. Suggestion
Realizing that is still far from perfect, therefore, if there suggestion or critism of our
paper, hopefully they are constructive and serve as a guidelines for us to be even better so
that in the future will be more focused and detailed in explaining the paper above, will more
and more reliable sources.
