How i process emotions.
In my perception most people over complicate emotions. The way they describe them is quite different than what I would describe, so I will describe what I think and you can give me input on what you think.
I would describe emotions as thoughts that cause a positive or negative mental reaction. For example someone I like could die and I would feel sad or I could find a bag of money and feel happy.
Happiness is a positive reaction that makes me feel satisfied with the situation. I think good things and want to be productive.
Sadness is a negative thought that makes me think pessimistic thoughts and feel lazy and unmotivated. Things do not seem to be going good.
Anger is similar to sadness but more energetic rather than lazy but it often caused by the same negative thoughts.
Fear is awareness that something bad may happen and wishing it would not. For example I don't want to get sick or fall off a cliff.
Love is caring about somebody or something I like and would be willing to go out of my way to protect them. I do not understand the different types of love but I am willing to make personal sacrifices for them if necessary for their protection. For example I would take care of a sick person who I like at my own inconvenience.
Lust is simply sexual attraction.
Hate is an extreme dislike that induces anger.
Apathy is indifference and neutrality.
Confusion is not being sure of what is happening.
Relaxed is feeling content, similar to happiness.
Bored is wanting to do something.
Pride is feeling good about accomplishments.
Paranoid is being suspicious of someone or a situation.
Hyper is being energetic.
Funny is laughing at something humorous. Similar to happy.
Jealousy wanting something someone else has. I'm not sure if I can actually feel this at all.
I also seem to be missing whatever it is that makes some people not do what they want. I am not sure if this is inhibition or shame or something else.
Anyway my question is if my descriptions are consistent with other peoples and if not what is different. Feel free to add anything I may have missed.
