Emotions.
Feelings. Psychologists say that these are indicators of our life. That which always stays with us, expresses our attitude towards something and makes us feel life to the fullest, in all its manifestations! These are also important signals, without realizing which we are simply committing a crime... Against ourselves.
Some feeling was not accepted, consider something stolen from yourself. If you deny something, you may be killing some part of yourself. If you don’t allow something to be expressed, you hide “enemies” within yourself, who will one day play a cruel joke on you.
But perhaps you will object and say that in order to be a criminal, you need to violate some laws, statutes, rules, or something else that is strictly regulated and prescribed.
But you don’t know such laws, you haven’t come across a single article that talks about the need to be aware of emotions and feelings in our lives, that it is very destructive not to express them, and even more destructive to suppress or deny them...
Yes, that's right! Unfortunately, when we “enter” life, we learn everything: we study the criminal code, administrative regulations in order to be law-abiding citizens, we master and remember the rules of behavior in society in order to be accepted by it. And then we further master the nuances of interpersonal interaction, including moments of manipulation and psychological games.
But, unfortunately, few people are taught sincerity with themselves, elementary psychological laws, by applying which there is a chance to learn to be, and not seem (no matter how hackneyed this phrase is)! Ask someone: “How are you feeling right now!” Most will say: “Everything is fine!” or “I’m fine!” and not a word about the experience behind it. Another part will be scared and noticeably nervous that you caught them off guard with such a question. And only a small proportion will answer that they now feel embarrassed because they were interested in them or excited because it is important to answer sincerely.
Feelings are forbidden
Very often feelings are forbidden. From childhood we may be told: “Boys don’t cry,” and grown men do not allow themselves to be sad. They suppress sadness by seeking solace in work, alcohol, or paying with psychosomatic illnesses. We may hear from our parents or significant others: “Don’t be upset!”, and, as a result, in adulthood we suppress disappointment and sadness, trying to be strong, enduring everything that brings us discomfort. From all sides, society broadcasts: “You can’t be angry! Anger is destructive! As a result, for many it is taboo and, as a rule, its frequent suppression leads to a feeling of helplessness, a lack of control over one’s life and what is happening in it and the ability to protect one’s borders.
Do you need to have strong feelings?
The stronger the feelings, the more fully they make you feel life and breathe deeply. But often strong feelings are tension and stress on the body. Experiencing strong feelings enhances the work of organs and systems - the nervous system, endocrine, cardiovascular. The body gets tired faster.
But all feelings in life cannot be absolutely strong. Life consists of the perception of the environment, while everything is perceived quite calmly in the same rhythm and pace, except for specific specific situations and circumstances. Strong feelings are replaced by not strong ones. Strong feelings have their own role and they come in the right situations.
Strong feelings are needed, they make it possible to live life to the fullest, to see all the bright colors. So, strong feelings can be called love and hatred. All these feelings are very important, they determine personal qualities and abilities, and also allow you to act one way or another in each specific situation. Even hatred has its own positive role, because when a person experiences strong hostility, he shuns and avoids the factor that gives discomfort and this saves him from stress.
Everything in life is measured and balanced. If some feelings are stronger, then others are weaker and a person experiences them more often. But without strong feelings there is no full feeling of life to the fullest. You can live your whole life quietly and it will be nothing particularly remarkable; an ordinary monotonous life is not boring, but not fun either. And you can make life bright, stormy, energetic, cheerful, mobilizing all the feelings, and then life is fuller and brighter, more interesting and eventful. Strong emotions in this case bring joy and prolong life. And if strong emotions associated with strong feelings bring disappointment and pain, then it is not advisable to experience such strong feelings and avoid situations when they arise, build your life and relationships differently.
Other extremes and the search for a golden mean
It also happens that feelings overwhelm. Excessive surge of emotional waves makes life like an earthquake. They appear and immediately find a way out. Without awareness, without understanding. Stimulus - reaction! Which can cause considerable discomfort both to the person himself and to those around him.
As always, the norm is somewhere in the middle. When we accept emotions and feelings, we give ourselves the opportunity to live them, understanding what exactly is happening to us, what caused them and how to deal with them. We understand that feelings are not what will destroy us. Yes, they can be signals of pain, they can be difficult to live with, unsettle us, make us even more vulnerable, and completely reshape our lives. But, at the same moment, they are the basis of us. Something that allows you to live through a certain situation, let it go and integrate the experience gained into your personality.
It is important to know your emotional experiences and express them environmentally. To begin with, it would be a good idea to at least know and differentiate them.
Descriptions of emotional reactions proposed by psychologists - scientists who have studied this topic - can be of great help in this regard.
HOW MANY SENSES DOES A PERSON HAVE?
Areas of the brain where information from certain senses is processed.
Cones, which perceive color, and rods, which respond to light and dark, in the retina.

The answer to this question can be very different. Conservatives, following Aristotle, speak of five senses - hearing, touch, vision, smell and taste. Poets insist on the sixth, which includes either the feeling of beauty, or intuition, or something else. These are non-specialists. But physiologists and doctors also disagree with each other. The most cautious of them now count only three senses in a person, the most radical - 33.
Indeed, we often use senses that are not included in Aristotle’s list. Does seeing, hearing, or any of the other five senses help you perform a common neurological test in which the doctor asks you to close your eyes and touch the tip of your nose with one finger or the other? Which of the five feelings torment you while rocking at sea? What sense allows you to determine whether the tea in your glass is too hot?
So how many feelings does a person have? It depends on how you count.
We can say that there are only three senses: chemical (smell and taste), mechanical (hearing and touch) and light (vision). The reaction of the corresponding sensory organs is based on different physicochemical mechanisms. But these three feelings can also be classified in more detail. For example, taste actually includes five senses: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami (the Japanese word for the taste of monosodium glutamate, a seasoning that is essential in concentrated soups). A few years ago, scientists discovered that the tongue has separate receptors for the taste of umami. French physiologists have recently discovered receptors that respond to the taste of fat, and they are present not only on the tongue, but also in the small intestine (it’s not for nothing that a good portion of castor oil, commonly known as castor oil, penetrates us to the very intestines). So a person most likely has six senses of taste.
Vision can be considered as one sense - the sensation of light, as two - light and color, or as four - light and the primary colors: red, green and blue. Frogs and some other animals have separate receptors in the retina of their eyes that respond to movement in the field of vision - another sense (as far as is known, humans have no such receptors).
Let's take hearing. Is it one sense or several hundred, equal to the number of hair cells in the inner ear, each of which responds to its own vibration frequency? It is also interesting that as a result of aging or certain diseases, a person may lose the perception of certain frequencies, while the rest will still be audible.
As for the sense of smell, at least 2000 types of receptors are involved. Among them there are very specialized ones, for example, responding to the smell of the sea, to the smell of lilies of the valley. Should these sensations be considered together, as a single sense of smell, or separately?
We are all capable of feeling the temperature of surrounding objects, the degree of bending of the limbs in the joints (which allows us to quite accurately find the tip of the nose with our fingers with our eyes closed), and we feel an imbalance (which, when rocking, leads to seasickness). We experience a feeling of an empty stomach or a full bladder. Is it possible to consider as feelings those sensations that do not reach consciousness, because there is simply no need for this? For example, a person has a sensor that senses the pH of the cerebrospinal fluid, but the adjustment of this parameter occurs without the participation of consciousness.
Perhaps the sense of time should be included in the list. Although few of us can answer with great accuracy what time it is without a watch, many are quite confident in assessing the elapsed periods of time, and everyone has internal biorhythms.
Even conservatives agree that in addition to the classic five, people have a sense of pain. And radicals distinguish three pain feelings: cutaneous, bodily (pain in joints, bones and spine) and visceral (pain in the insides).
Nowadays, most scientists recognize the existence of 21 senses in humans. The upper limit has not yet been set.
Classifications of feelings
For example, the American psychologist K. Izard offers a classification of ten fundamental emotions (joy, sadness, surprise, disgust, anger and others), each of which has a wide variety of manifestations and can be a component of complex sensory experiences.
Did you know that joy can be very multifaceted and have different variations?
Like, for example, having finished preparing for an important master class, you feel joy - satisfaction that an important part for its implementation has been completed, you have put your soul into it and are ready to present it to your listeners.
After a successful master class, you may already be filled with joy - delight from the feedback you received and the fact that everything was a hundred percent successful.
There are other classifications, both scientific and existential. For example, Claude Steiner, speaking about emotional literacy, identifies 4 authentic feelings: joy, anger, sadness and fear. All other feelings are considered racket (that is, determined by the life scenario) or derived from the four basic ones.
But is it possible to “squeeze” the entire spectrum of emotional reactions into some kind of classification? It seems almost impossible. But, at the same moment, they can help us better understand ourselves, learn to name our experiences.

Exploring feelings
We invite you to familiarize yourself with one of the tools that can help with this. Here is a table of feelings:
The topmost line lists the basic feelings, which are derivatives of the others (they are located below, in the column of a certain basic one). These are feelings of joy, anger, fear, sadness, love. For example, anxiety is a kind of fear, but it is not caused by the moment here and now, but by worries about the future. Interest is the joy of learning, the desire to learn something new.
Listed below are some of the possible thoughts or states of a person that can be caused by certain feelings.
Try working with this table whenever you have difficulty identifying your emotional experiences. Contact her in a situation where you find it difficult to understand your feeling, or you experience general discomfort and don’t know what to do with it.
Over time, your knowledge about your emotions and feelings will become richer, and your life will become much richer and brighter!

List of emotions
To make it easier to describe your emotional state, it is useful to write as complete a list of all possible emotions as possible. If a person knows what emotions are, it is easier for him to navigate and describe his inner state in words.
I suggest you look at the list that I have prepared for you. In this list I included not only emotions, but also feelings, since feelings are also states of an emotional nature. I offer you this job. Carefully read the name of each emotion or feeling and listen to yourself. Does something inside respond to this or that word? How intense is a particular emotion felt? You may find that you feel a mixture of different emotions of varying intensity. For example, a mixture of tenderness with slight sadness, or strong resentment with slight anxiety.
So, here is a list of what emotions there are. For convenience, I divided all emotions into several groups. This division is very arbitrary. However, it seems to me that it is convenient for perceiving information.
Joy Delight Hope Pride Tenderness Gratitude Admiration Love Peace Tenderness Serenity Inspiration Excitement Exultation Sympathy Anticipation
Anger Irritation Indignation Dissatisfaction Disgust Contempt Fury Resentment Anger Annoyance Envy Indignation Schadenfreude Dislike Jealousy
Sadness Sadness Disappointment Melancholy Sympathy Despair Grief Regret Sadness Pity Grief
Fear Worry Anxiety Horror Panic Fright Excitement Alertness Fear Apprehension Trembling
Shame Guilt Embarrassment Awkward Inconvenience
Sense of space
In addition to the traditional big five, there is also a feeling that concerns how your brain understands where your body is. This one is called proprioception.
Proprioception involves the sense of movement and position of our limbs and muscles. For example, proprioception allows a person to touch the tip of their nose with a finger even when their eyes are closed. This allows a person to climb the steps without having to look at each one. People with poor proprioception may be clumsy and uncoordinated.
People who have particularly poor proprioception through mechanosensation—the ability to sense force, such as the feeling of someone pressing on your skin—may have a mutated gene that is passed on from generation to generation.
Hearing
This sense works through the complex labyrinth that is the human ear. Sound is directed through the outer ear and into the external auditory canal. The sound waves then reach the eardrum. It is a thin sheet of connective tissue that vibrates when sound waves hit it.
Vibrations move to the middle ear. There, the auditory ossicles vibrate—three tiny bones called the malleus, incus, and stapes. The latter, in turn, pushes a structure called the oval window and sends vibrations to the organ of Corti. This spiral organ is the receptor organ for hearing. Tiny hair cells in it translate vibrations into electrical impulses. The impulses then travel to the brain through sensory nerves.
People maintain their sense of balance because the eustachian tube in the middle ear equalizes the air pressure in the middle ear with the air pressure in the atmosphere. The vestibular complex in the inner ear is also important for balance as it contains receptors that regulate the sense of balance. The inner ear is connected to the vestibulocochlear nerve, which transmits sound and balance information to the brain.
Additional feelings and variations
There are more subtle feelings that most people never perceive. For example, there are neural sensors that sense motion to control balance and head tilt. Specific kinesthetic receptors exist to detect stretches in muscles and tendons, helping people monitor their limbs. Other receptors detect oxygen levels in certain arteries of the bloodstream.
Sometimes people don't even process feelings the same way. For example, people with synesthesia may see sounds as colors or associate certain sights with smells.
