Emotions
The Range of Human Experience
Here is an extensive, but not exhaustive list of human emotions. It’s important to note that emotions can vary widely in terms of intensity and complexity. They can also be mixed, resulting in nuanced emotional states. The same emotion can also be experienced differently by different individuals, based on their personal histories, cultural contexts, and other factors. The way we define and categorize emotions can vary depending on personal, cultural, and societal factors. While some words might be considered more as states or attitudes, they can still convey or imply emotional states.
