Emotional Traits Transient
“Never let negative emotions
influence your faith”
-
Human is a emotional wellbeing. The effect of the internal
or external environment is crucial for individual development. The energy may
get blocked or released as an after effect of emotion. It depends upon the
individual maturity. One may burst into tears after watching a social drama in
a movie or episode of serial on television and another individual may laugh at
the incident. You may laugh after an
intelligent joke of stand up comedian but I may not even smile. Your happiness
or pain depends upon your thought process who seriously you take an incident
whether on social media or real event in front of your eyes.
Emotional
manipulators dangerous
It depends upon your personality traits who deeply the
manipulators affect you. Emotional manipulator, in one way, is so toxic that
you may sometime do not notice your act or the consequences may be very much
hazardous to your health or critical to manage your behaviour. The manipulator
is always craving attention of people. A person may complain for the small
piece of task he does not want to undergo in such a way that he has to climb
the mountain. Things are sometimes far away from truth and therefore
manipulator tries to twist the fact and prove you wrong by convincing you
according to their perception. With aggression and information overload they
relentlessly pressurise you with sense of urgency. An emotional manipulator is
always ready to turn something positive into something negative. They are
experts at using your conscience against you, prompting you to feel guilty even
when you have done nothing wrong. They may not take things seriously but also
try to encourage to listen to them and act positively on their intensions.

sallow, rapid, dramatic and sometimes sexually provocative. Since the
emotional vampires are so strong that they may affect the psychosomatic
structure of human drastically. It is also fact that positive emotions show joy
and happiness as they release hormones responsible for strengthening the immune

resentment or anger may cause dramatic consequences. In fact, others may not be
aware of individual sadness causing a “burning” sensation or irritation. Sudden
pain in the lower left side of the abdomen called diverticulitis symptoms is
the most common. Other symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting,
fever, bloating or constipation. Emotion for a prolonged time may invite
disorder like stoke, eye problem and even epilepsy. It is quite serious affair

involved in learning and memory ability. Emotional pains are stored in the
body. The wounds may not be visible but sometime the effect can externally

personality disorder. In case of any
signs or symptoms of a personality disorder, it is advisable to see mental
health professional. If the unusual behaviour is untreated, personality
disorders can cause significant problems in your life that may get worse
without treatment.
According to Kendra Cherry, MS, an author, educational
consultant, and speaker focused on helping students learn about psychology,
there are 6 types of basic emotions and their effects on Human behaviour.
1. Happiness
Of all the different types of emotions, happiness tends to
be the one that people strive for the most. Happiness is often defined as a
pleasant emotional state that is characterized by feelings of contentment, joy,
gratification, satisfaction, and well-being.
Research on happiness has increased significantly since the
1960s within a number of disciplines, including the branch of psychology known
as positive psychology. This type of emotion is sometimes expressed through:
Facial expressions: such as smiling
Body language: such as a relaxed stance
Tone of voice: an upbeat, pleasant way of speaking
While happiness is considered one of the basic human
emotions, the things we think will create happiness tend to be heavily
influenced by culture. For example, pop culture influences tend to emphasize
that attaining certain things such as buying a home or having a high-paying job
will result in happiness.
The realities of what actually contributes to happiness are
often much more complex and more highly individualized.2 People have long
believed that happiness and health were connected, and research has supported
the idea that happiness can play a role in both physical and mental health.
Happiness has been linked to a variety of outcomes including
increased longevity and increased marital satisfaction.3 Conversely,
unhappiness has been linked to a variety of poor health outcomes.
Stress, anxiety, depression, and loneliness, for example,
have been linked to things such as lowered immunity, increased inflammation, and
decreased life expectancy.
2. Sadness
Sadness is another type of emotion often defined as a
transient emotional state characterized by feelings of disappointment, grief,
hopelessness, disinterest, and dampened mood.
Like other emotions, sadness is something that all people
experience from time to time. In some cases, people can experience prolonged
and severe periods of sadness that can turn into depression. Sadness can be
expressed in a number of ways including:
Crying
Dampened mood
Lethargy
Quietness
Withdrawal from others
The type and severity of sadness can vary depending upon the
root cause, and how people cope with such feelings can also differ.
Sadness can often lead people to engage in coping mechanisms
such as avoiding other people, self-medicating, and ruminating on negative
thoughts. Such behaviours can actually exacerbate feelings of sadness and
prolong the duration of the emotion.
3. Fear
Fear is a powerful emotion that can also play an important
role in survival. When you face some sort of danger and experience fear, you go
through what is known as the fight or flight response.
Your muscles become tense, your heart rate and respiration
increase, and your mind becomes more alert, priming your body to either run
from the danger or stand and fight.
This response helps ensure that you are prepared to
effectively deal with threats in your environment. Expressions of this type of
emotion can include:
Facial expressions: such as widening the eyes and pulling
back the chin
Body language: attempts to hide or flea from the threat
Physiological reactions: such as rapid breathing and
heartbeat
Of course, not everyone experiences fear in the same way.
Some people may be more sensitive to fear and certain situations or objects may
be more likely to trigger this emotion.
Fear is the emotional response to an immediate threat. We
can also develop a similar reaction to anticipated threats or even our thoughts
about potential dangers, and this is what we generally think of as anxiety.
Social anxiety, for example, involves an anticipated fear of social situations.
Some people, on the other hand, actually seek out
fear-provoking situations. Extreme sports and other thrills can be
fear-inducing, but some people seem to thrive and even enjoy such feelings.
Repeated exposure to a fear object or situation can lead to
familiarity and acclimation, which can reduce feelings of fear and anxiety.
This is the idea behind exposure therapy, in which people
are gradually exposed to the things that frighten them in a controlled and safe
manner. Eventually, feelings of fear begin to decrease.
4. Disgust
Disgust is another of the original six basic emotions
described by Eckman. Disgust can be displayed in a number of ways including:
Body language: turning away from the object of disgust
Physical reactions: such as vomiting or retching
Facial expressions: such as wrinkling the nose and curling
the upper lip
This sense of revulsion can originate from a number of
things, including an unpleasant taste, sight, or smell. Researchers believe
that this emotion evolved as a reaction to foods that might be harmful or
fatal. When people smell or taste foods that have gone bad, for example,
disgust is a typical reaction.
Poor hygiene, infection, blood, rot, and death can also
trigger a disgust response. This may be the body's way of avoiding things that
may carry transmittable diseases.
People can also experience moral disgust when they observe
others engaging in behaviours that they find distasteful, immoral, or evil.
5. Anger
Anger can be a particularly powerful emotion characterized
by feelings of hostility, agitation, frustration, and antagonism towards
others. Like fear, anger can play a part in your body's fight or flight
response.
When a threat generates feelings of anger, you may be
inclined to fend off the danger and protect yourself. Anger is often displayed
through:
Facial expressions: such as frowning or glaring
Body language: such as taking a strong stance or turning
away
Tone of voice: such as speaking gruffly or yelling
Physiological responses: such as sweating or turning red
Aggressive behaviours: such as hitting, kicking, or throwing
objects
While anger is often thought of as a negative emotion, it
can sometimes be a good thing. It can be constructive in helping clarify your
needs in a relationship, and it can also motivate you to take action and find
solutions to things that are bothering you.
Anger can become a problem, however, when it is excessive or
expressed in ways that are unhealthy, dangerous, or harmful to others.
Uncontrolled anger can quickly turn to aggression, abuse, or violence.
This type of emotion can have both mental and physical
consequences. Unchecked anger can make it difficult to make rational decisions
and can even have an impact on your physical health.
Anger has been linked to coronary heart diseases and
diabetes. It has also been linked to behaviours that pose health risks such as
aggressive driving, alcohol consumption, and smoking.
6. Surprise
Surprise is another one of the six basic types of human
emotions originally described by Eckman. Surprise is usually quite brief and is
characterized by a physiological startle response following something
unexpected.
This type of emotion can be positive, negative, or neutral.
An unpleasant surprise, for example, might involve someone jumping out from
behind a tree and scaring you as you walk to your car at night.
An example of a pleasant surprise would be arriving home to
find that your closest friends have gathered to celebrate your birthday. Surprise
is often characterized by: Facial expressions: such as raising the brows,
widening the eyes, and opening the mouth
Physical responses: such as jumping back
Verbal reactions: such as yelling, screaming, or gasping
Surprise is another type of emotion that can trigger the
fight or flight response. When startled, people may experience a burst of
adrenaline that helps prepare the body to either fight or flee.
Surprise can have important effects on human behaviour. For
example, research has shown that people tend to disproportionately notice
surprising events.
This is why surprising and unusual events in the news tend
to stand out in memory more than others. Research has also found that people
tend to be more swayed by surprising arguments and learn more from surprising
information.
