Name That Emotion

[BigApplePi]

INTP's are not the best with handling emotions. "F" types excel. Name some emotion (or feeling if you will). Then the next poster has to define it or give an experience with it, telling how they muffed it or did well with it or couldn't figure it out. The next poster can feel free to comment but ends by naming a NEW emotion unless they think (or feel) something has not been covered. Then they will name the SAME emotion.

This could give practice to INTP's who have nothing to lose by attempts at rational looks at emotions.

Envy.

I forgot to suggest you can try to say something "good" about the emotion if it is bad or something bad if it is "good." Also repeats are fine as different people have different reactions to the same emotion.

 

[MissQuote]

The closest thing I have felt to Envy is Jealousy. Which I suspect is not quite the same.

I rarely feel jealousy, but when I do it is sudden and immense and utterly unexpected, I usually step outside the feeling of it because it surprises me so greatly and I must analyse what the fuck that was about.

Jealousy- a sudden and intense desire and loathing mixed into one cocktail. The conclusions found if this desirous loathing is analysed are usually to find that something one was previously unaware of coveting is now first and foremost in the mind as an Object of Attraction.

envy - yearning for something that belong to someone else and resenting them for it.

usually i'm a bit removed from my envy, when it comes to things like personality traits or material possessions, and it prompts me to analyze what i can do to have what the other person has. it can be a source of inspiration and motivation. sometimes the only thing i can figure is that they were just blessed or born with it in which case i feel resigned and i try to intellectually rationalize away any resentment i feel about it. romantic envy is a totally different beast. i always tell myself its unhealthy and i worry if i express it i'll seem pathetic so i try to shove it out of my mind right away but it ends up simmering and coming out in passive aggression or cattiness.

-ennui

 

[BigApplePi]

ennui - I associate with a sort of general emotional fatigue where one feels like they don't want to do anything. Even though I may feel down at times I usually have something in the back of my mind I want done ... even if it is routine or a chore. So I don't really feel that.

.... Wait. What about when I want to go to bed and sleep? Then that would be a good thing if I were physically tired. But ennui can occur without physical fatigue. If this is a "bad" emotion, can I name something good? That's a tough one. How about ennui tells you you need a big change ... an overhaul ... maybe a vacation. It tells you to look or wait for a turnaround.

MissQuote. You forgot to name another emotion ... or did you?, lol.

Hope.

 

[EyeSeeCold]

Hope - An emotion that prolongs the will for a future and indefinite cause. It can strengthen your psychological fortitude, it can motivate you to persevere through a physical difficulty.

I've "hoped" for a lot of things in my life, a lot of times in vain. My level of hope is mostly minimal, but it's still there, and sometimes there are moments when my level of hope surpasses others when the environment and situation seems bleak. Though it's never a hope that is displayed in feelings, but in stoicism and persistence of action.


Attraction

 

[Cognisant]

Attraction - One of the main mechanistic associative biases inherent to the reproductive drive.

Shame

 

[ObliviousGenius]

(Following the given model)
Shame: A painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior.

I've felt shame plenty of times in my young life. I think it's because of my profound awareness of right and wrong. I'm not overly moral but I instantly identify when I've gone too far with a tactless statement or when I (clearly) hurt someone's feelings. I also feel shame whenever I do something wrong and someone calls me out on it, at least when I truly was wrong.

Trust.

 

[EyeSeeCold]

Trust is a feeling of reliability or consistency in a person as a whole, or for certain expectations. Trust-worthiness of other people is usually determined on first impressions(personality, appearance, vibes etc), and by behavior over the course of time; it can reflect positively or negatively.


I've been burned in the past after having trusted others where I was vulnerable, but even then I've never been fully trusting of others. I don't think holing up inside of oneself in the solution though. I've taken the experiences as life lessons, to know when certain levels of trust are okay, and when they're not, which kind of people and situations to avoid etc.


Exhilaration

Way to kill a thread, Turniphead. ಠ_ಠ

 

[Cognisant]

Turnip-head: An archaic label for stupidity that due to it's age and infrequent use has acquired an air of sophistication normally reserved insults in dead languages like Myan, Babalonian, Latin or grammatically correct English, literally the insult infers that the recipiant's head is turnip shaped, or comprised of turnip material, in either cause making the presence of a functioning brain, unlikely.

Blue puppy slushie.

 

[Turniphead]

Puppies that... eat ... too many... slushies?



-Annoyance

 

[Cognisant]

...were you always Turniphead or did you change your name just for me?

Huh, I must have missed that, I'm going senile in my old age.

 

[Turniphead]

Spoiler

For seriousness?

--

 

[BigApplePi]

We is all turnipheads missing what's there. It easily happens when we read on skipping original post dictums.

seriousness - an emotion or feeling or desire to lean toward expressing things exactly as they are without new contrast. I believe I alternate between being serious and making fun. I am serious when I want to focus when focusing is absent. I make fun when I feel some private point is being missed and I want to make contrast. The latter is highly risky as it is more personal and subjective and depends on whether the contrast makes the connection or not. Capish or capish not?

annoyance -

 

[LcDel]

Annoyance - a usually bottled-up feeling of irritability that stems from disgust as a milder and sometimes more unexpected or ambiguous form.
I feel very sharp and prominent annoyance whenever someone on the internet tries to make an intellectual argument on a forum or comment section of a web page and uses long posts riddled with grammatical error and bias.

Panic

 

[LcDel]

Also, bonus points to whoever can put a name to this emotion:
When you, say, find out something terrible happened to someone you care about and you are shocked for a moment, suddenly become chilled (for me, my ears ring too), and then unexpectedly devoid of all emotion.
That chilled void is what I just can't name.

Shock?

 

[MissQuote]

That chilled feeling, isn't really a feeling, I don't think. Isn't it more like a processing processing processing please stand by while information is integrated.

Guilt.

 

[BigApplePi]

Guilt - a feeling of pain when one believes they have done wrong.

Indulgence

 

[EnigmaticMan]

Exasperation - An emotion described as a combination of frustration and fatigue towards another person and/or their actions. Often associative towards someone who over a long period of time lacks cooperative cohesion with you.

(one of the few emotions that "exasperate" me)

 

[lungs]

anticipation

 

[BigApplePi]

anticipation

A desire looking forward to an event which has yet to occur.

Jealousy. This was answered before but I think it can be improved on. It goes beyond envy.

 

[MizKodomo]

Indulgence- performing pleasurable activities for excessive amounts of time and quantities

Jealousy- Indignation and Insecurity, which is brought on when conscious (or not) competition have achieved something that the you (the feeler) have wanted for yourself

Shame

 

[BigApplePi]

Shame - pain due to feeling one has done something below a standard one has given to themselves.

I'm not sure the below is an actual emotion, but it's a desire. The desire to provoke.

 

[GYX_Kid]

Panic

Stress in response to perception of overwhelming loss of control

Also, bonus points to whoever can put a name to this emotion:

Sounds like terror possibly triggering numbness, or more just a shocked "betrayed by reality" feeling. There may be a sort of cryptic emptiness involved



Define:

Regret, Loathing

 

[MizKodomo]

I Suck- I hadn't realized like, 12 people had already done Shame- my bad xD

Regret- distress over the past in someway, and wanting to change that aspect of the past

Loathing- An extreme dislike for something or someone

Horror

 

[SandMizzle]

Horror:

A feeling escorted by fear or disgust. Often leads to shock or unreasonable behavior.

It's a very rare feeling for me and often occurs with amusement or glowing interest for the reason in my case. I would like to enjoy it more often, but mostly I'm just too impassive and horror movies are too predictable.


You guys only got negative feelings here I see, let's make it a bit more difficult now!

Include in horror a fear of annihilation
Love - the desire to be with someone or some thing

Here is a tough one: Dismay

 

[SandMizzle]

Very well, sounds exciting!

Love - the desire to be with someone or some thing

I want to hear some peronal stuff, how you feel/think about this feeling.

Here is a tough one: Dismay

I hope I get this right (I'm not a native speaker as you may guess)...
Mostly occurs when something terrible happens to a person you care about and you empathise with this person, so you get dismayed.

Fortunately I'm a empathic person, but dismay appears to be what I call a severe feeling and I often try to avoid those kind with thinking through possibilities to avoid the same problem, if it should happen to me somedays.


Ok, what about a shitty one, yeah...
