In regards to the Emotion one, it really is about us looking for primary entries we overlooked the first time (like Grief – whoops!) and for the rest it was about thinking of more complex emotions that are powerful but maybe not something you experience every day. Take Vindicated, for example. Being in a situation where you were wrongfully accused of something, not believed, or everyone around you suspected something that turned out to be falsecan any of us deny the rush of righteousness you feel when you’ve been proven innocent or right all along? It’s an emotion we all know, have felt, but not an “every day” one. The feeling of utter Powerlessness might be another. Or Schadenfreude, the gleeful, ugly joy you feel at another person’s downfall.

All great emotions to explore. The sample of this is actually quite helpful for a probably totally unintentional reason. I am a recently diagnosed autistic adult and have struggled all my life with being able to “appropriately” communicate with others.

Especially the bit on “melodrama” where you talk about extreme outward expressions of emotion being disbelieved because “in real life, emotion isn’t always so demonstrative.” I wonder if this is why I am always disbelieved when I express my emotions – because they always tend to the extreme. It’s extremely hurtful to have people dismiss your experiences just because you express them too loudly so it must be fake. I learned the hard way that I had to repress all emotion as much as possible because otherwise I would be criticised and disbelieved. So reading something like this (whilst trying to learn more about how to describe my emotions so that others don’t dismiss me) has been a bit of an eye opener into how neurotypical people/society sees emotions/behaviours. I also saw another post elsewhere which listed body language for different emotions and that has really helped too since it explains why not making eye contact is seen as such a bad thing – it shows up as a “symptom” of boredom, deception, embarrassment, dishonesty (it mentions honesty as involving maintaining eye contact), secretiveness, shame, and shyness. When in reality it just feels like the most personal thing (other than sex) you can do with someone – it’s this intense feeling that with the right person can be an amazing send shivers down your spine kind of thing, even erotic. Which honestly is NOT something that is going to feel comfortable with just anyone and especially not the kinds of people who tend to demand it – parents, teachers and so on.
