question regarding emotions

i was having a conversation with my friend earlier today, and it made me think of something and now i need to gather data

so, question for vp'ers:

are you able to feel and identify complex emotions (ex. guilt, shame, anger, feeling of injustice) when you experience them (in the moment you experience them), or do you need time to analyse and reflect upon what it is you're feeling and why, before you're able to know what/how you're feeling?

listing primarily negative emotions as examples bc positive ones dont usually linger the same way and give reason for reflection

doesnt necessarily have to be thought about or put into words, it can just be experienced abstractly as specific emotions, if you get what i mean

like do you have an idea of what emotion you're experiencing, even if its not present in your mind as thoughts?

do you never have a bad day tho where you're like "hmm i just cant put my finger on why im in such a bad mood" tho? or you just dont think about it and move on, the mood passes

Hmm honestly i don’t really know since i haven’t paid attention to it in this way. I experience and differentiate between different emotions and they range further than happy and sad🤔 i think🤔

interesting

im trying to think of an example of a situation i could present, but i just cant think of anything concrete enough that it would make sense to ask about

but ok so rough example, say youre having a bad day, feeling unmotivated to do things and such, feeling a little down, and this bad day turns into several bad days in a row and you start to feel like, hmm, this is going on for a while now - do you intuitively have an idea of the emotions you are experiencing and the cause for this? do you wonder what is causing it and have trouble figuring it out? or do you not think about it and just exist in it and let it pass without much thought?

hope that made sense

are you intuitively able to identify the emotions you are feeling in the situation you are experiencing them though? or does it take a while before you can put it into words, needing to reflect upon and analyse it first?

positive emotions are usually a bit more of a blur for me as well, but i think that is, as i said, bc they dont usually linger the same way and give rise to reflection the same way negative ones do

I am slow at this, so it normally requires some introspection even though there are more frequent experiences of it in my case. eg. how you can go from having the ugliest fight with someone you love to falling back into a normal pattern like it didn't happen. What came up during the fight are unmet needs\expectations, but they keep falling back to a root where we both value and love each other. It's also there during a fight even if it's not the emotion we are mainly experiencing bodily at that time.

on the different hand, and a more recent example, it took me much more time to find the root of why I didn't like one of my family members, but I also think that had something to do with that I needed space to be able to see the event more clearly and pinpoint exactly what needs or expectations of mine were not met at that time and how those were needs I expected x person to help me fulfill that they were unable to do, and thus I felt abandoned, lonely, sad, angry, betrayed, unsupported. I still loved them, and I hated myself for saying bad things about them because you "should not" say such things about someone you love, and grieved that they were not the person I thought they were.  \\ Some I knew right away as I experienced them over the period of time: I knew I was sad they had changed, angry at them for their behavior towards me, betrayed for not prioritizing me\abondoning me, lonely since they were one of my main people and they did not give me much at all but angry remarks. Surprised because it all happened so unexpectedly, against all promises I'd been given and all my expectations of that person.  but to fully pinpoint that they could not be the stable parental figure for me at a time in my life at a time when I needed and expected them to be that, was something that came much later. it sorta pulled a lot of it together into something more digestible for my brain.

idk if this absolutely overshare post answered anything

but yeah, now I'm definitively better at picking up on my emotions than I was back then. I think it's a skill you can learn; how different emotions manifest in your body, paying attention to how you react, and which (un)met needs or people might change how your body reacts or which habits you start resolving to "ease" x type of distress. Even if you might not experience everything as clear emotions in your brain and being able to name it on the spot, your body usually has a reaction and it's normally a better indicator of how you're experiencing something than your brain trying to tell you how you should feel or how you think you're feeling\should feel in a situation.
