That feeling when youโve been anticipating something for ages (e.g. a concert, movie, book release, any kind of event) and youโve been feeling the excitement building, and thereโs those few moments right before the thing happens where you feel like youโre about to explode, where you realise itโs actually happening, and that itโs real. I love that shit
Trust in the universe. You know this exercise for two people where one of them is supposed to fall on their back from a standing position, and the other one is standing behind them and is supposed to catch them before they hit the ground? The amount of trust it takes is huge. Now picture this, but with the universe. A feeling that no matter what happens, I can let go and fall, and the universe will catch me. It's doesn't feel like sinking, it feels like flying. For me the first few seconds are scary as hell, because these aren't the emotions I usually feel, or let myself feel - faith, vulnerability, letting go of control. But when I close my eyes, lean back and keep breathing, man.. Nothing compares. Knowing that I'm not alone, that there's this massive force behind me and no matter what happens, it will guide and protect me. And when I lack strength, I can always draw from it, because sooner or later I will give everything back.
My fave emotion has to be pride. Both in the self love sense when I finish something that I probably dreaded but also pride for my family and friendโs achievements.
As an constantly anxious and stressed person my favourite feeling is calmness. Sitting at the beach, listening to the waves maybe someoneโs playing guitar. Pure bliss
Happiness, love, coziness (espesh in the winter season with a cup of hot chocolate) and as an artist that thrill you get when being in a creative mood/doing something you love.
Omg Luce YES. I have sometimes referred to it as safety being a core value of mine. But it comes from that- my favorite emotion of relief! In any situation, espesh ones that are stressful, all I want to do is get HOME. Or to my car, or any secluded place that I can feel relief first, then figure out the rest of the emotions from the situation. ๐
Similar to relief, but almost opposite?- the excitement of being passionate. Like being absolutely thrilled and excited about doing something, sharing something that you are proud of or super interested in. Being giddy like a 5 year old telling you everything they know about their favorite dinosaur.
Itโs funny you mention never really feeling contentedness bc THAT is my fave emosh. Iโm getting married in 3 months and when people are like oh you marry the person you love, well YES but itโs more than that. Iโm marrying the person that, no matter how my day went, at the end of it, when I lay down in bed next to him I let out a soft sigh because I know that for the next 8 hours Iโm safe (physically AND psychologically which is v imp for me as someone who struggles with mental illness!), comfortable, and loved. Itโs a pretty similar feeling to relief, to me, like when your whole body just deflates a little bit because the hard part is over and you sink into the mattress into your little love cocoon. Mushy af but thatโs my fave feeling/thing in the whole world.

Is Feral Mode an emotion?
My fave emotion has to be pride. Both in the self love sense when I finish something that I probably dreaded but also pride for my family and friendโs achievements.
What about calling the section "So what else is new?"
The sheer feral, unhinged, euphoric happiness I felt at the Perth harry show watching him do a shoey!

Anticipation!

I think that happiness is my fav emosh but itโs a specific happiness of realising beauty in to world or being thankful for experiences
Honestly as someone with anxiety relief is the besssssst feeling! So I totally agree that relief is an amazing emotion
