EMOTIONS

WHAT ARE EMOTIONS?

Emotions are very complex experiences

We use a great variety of terms, besides gestures and attitudes
to express them,
In fact, as good poets show us, we could use all the words of a dictionary to express different emotions.

Therefore, due to the infinite extension of emotional phenomena, it is impossible to make a full description of all the emotions that we can experience. However, the usual vocabulary to describe emotions is quite reduced and so, it allows people with the same cultural background, to share them. In the following chart are shown several emotions, positive and negative.
