Emotions are generally moods that affect our thoughts and behaviors and also lead to physical and psychological changes. Research has found '7 universal emotions'. To discover these emotions, we can look at our physical reactions to events. Fear, anger, shame, disgust, joy, sadness, enthusiasm and surprise are the basic emotions, and the remaining emotions are our sub-emotions. We can think of our emotions as colors: primary colors and secondary colors. Psychologist Robert Plutchik compares complex emotions to these colors mixing with each other and creating a new color.
In fact, emotions have many basic functions in our lives. It helps us cope with challenges, perceive threats, or bond with loved ones. For example, when we perceive a threat, we become afraid and run away due to the signals going to the brain. Therefore, we can say that emotions have enabled the survival of living things throughout human history.
A person who knows himself is aware of his true feelings and thoughts. Those who recognize their own emotions also recognize the emotions of others and can respond most appropriately to the situation.
In some situations, you may not be able to realize which emotion you are feeling, but you definitely have a positive or negative emotion. Having difficulty recognizing emotions is not an innate feature. During childhood, if parents or those around them allow the child to express their emotions and exhibit a positive attitude, the child will experience and therefore recognize his emotions more easily. On the contrary, if the child is not given the opportunity to express his emotions, the child suppresses his emotions and cannot experience or recognize them. The child who suppresses his emotions acts as his parents or those around him want, instead of discovering his own emotions and expressing himself.
