Understand Emotions

Emotions are the feelings we experience in response to situations, thoughts, or events. They help us understand and interact with the world around us. Emotions are our internal feelings (like happiness or sadness) that result in physical responses in our bodies (such as a racing heartbeat when scared), and outward expressions (like smiling or crying).

Primary Emotions typically include – Anger, Fear, Sadness, Disgust, Happiness, Surprise.
