What effect do these emotions have on your body? How do you experience emotions?
Anger:
Love:
Excitement:
Fear:
Hate:
Sadness:
Joy:
Anger: I feel nothing, mostly, until something really burns me up. And then at that point it feels like a burning fury within me. Not focused on one place in my body, though, just a mental burning with fury type-thing.
Love: I feel something like a buzz inside me (that "warm fuzzy feeling" people talk about). Buzzy, fuzzy, those words make sense to me to describe it. I don't get flutters in my heart, or heart pounding or skipping a beat. I don't get weak in the knees. I DO sometimes get a pain or...an emotional feeling...like an emotional ache, in my stomach around my diaphragm. Also...I sometimes get a pleasant "buzz" that feels like it's in the back of my head, when something's really, really sweet or I'm just sensitive that day. For crushes, or being IN love, I feel a "high" elated euphoric feeling when that person pays attention to me or says they love me back, etc. Plus the buzz. But friend family other kinds of love, gives me that buzz.
Excitement: No physical symptoms, it's just a mental thing. Oh wait...I will like tighten my muscles, like I get all tight when I'm really excited something. Like a bunch of money or seeing someone I haven't seen in ages, etc.
Fear: I tend to want to hold my breath. I don't have nausea or anything like that or heart palpitations. But sometimes there's a feeling of dread or stress/worry in my stomach. A lot of my emotions feel centered around my stomach.
Hate: Same as anger. Maybe almost like a burning in my gut if I think of a person I approach feeling hatred toward (doesn't happen often), or a feeling of disgust in my stomach.
Sadness: A deep, longing feeling in the top of my stomach. Again, I don't feel things in the "heart area" like some people seem too. Of course, if I'm really sad, I'll cry, but it takes a lot to get me in that state. Mostly I'll just be apathetic and a little down but not sad about things. Something has to be a big shock usually, to make me acutely sad/tears. That's very rare.
Joy: Joy feels kind of like a fountain coming out of me. Out of the inside of me, the center of my body. At least that's how I picture it. I think this one maybe centers around my heart. It's this internal, excited feeling of well being. So it's more all around and not focused on one body area for me. But maybe the diaphragm again, now that I think about it.
Ok enjoy! Let's see how different ppl are.
Explanation
Okay, I've got an interesting question! It came from a fantastic OOC chat I was having with somebody. I want to know what emotions feel like to different people.
For example:
LOVE: When my friend feels love, she gets a pain in her heart. Another friends feels her heart flutter. I feel a buzz (that "warm fuzzy feeling") and a pain in my stomach.
ANGER: When some people feel anger, they feel the blood rush to their heads. Some people get nauseous with anger. Or yell. Or cry.

Anger: I feel hot and I get a urge to just lash out. I feel that everything I do is back up by force
Love: I get all jittery, I feel fluttering in my chest and I feel actual pain when I'm out of love
Excitement: I don't usually feel anything
Fear: I feel a pit in my stomach like I have to throw up, my chest feels cold and I get shaky
Hate: I experience no reaction I have yet to feel true genuine hate
Sadness: It feels like nothing but in a different way, Like all my senses are heighten but it still like nothing. There's a change but I can't quiet place it
Joy: There's no change
Love: I get all jittery, I feel fluttering in my chest and I feel actual pain when I'm out of love
Excitement: I don't usually feel anything
Fear: I feel a pit in my stomach like I have to throw up, my chest feels cold and I get shaky

That's so interesting.... especially the cold in the chest thing I've never heard that before. And that's nice that you haven't felt true hate...I would say the same but boy I came close to feeling it with an ex supervisor who degraded people under him...he burned me up! Thanks for answering. This is fascinating how ppl are different from each other.

It's no problem I found your experiences very interesting. And yeah In psychology we learn the everyone's perspective is inherently different despite experiencing the same situation and emotion.
Well first off i am a manic depressive person who suffers panic attacks. So with that being said to much or to strong of ANY emotion can be extremely bad for me on a physical level as well as mentally. So i tend to be void of them all, which sometimes doesnt always work well but hey i am alive.
Anger: i get irrtable, snippy, i cry which i hate. And my chest starts to hurt...and heart pounds. Which leads to a panic attack if i do not defuse swiftly.
Love: it hurts
Excitement: useually causes me to speak fast, get worked up and go into emotional overdrive which is bad.
Fear: i useually feel this like an anixety attack. Which sucks but i am not afaird of much.
Hate: not explaining this one.
Sadness: this is my dayliy feeling, well not so much sadness as misery but hey its kinda the same. I hide it rather well for the most part.
Joy: easy, i feel this dayily as well. Joy for
Me is my kids smiles, laughs, i love yous. There hugs and love and the way there features light up when they did something they didnt know they could or are doing something they love. That for me is joy.

This is an interesting topic, and gives us as writers a broader idea of how emotions can affect the body.
Anger: I get snarky. I feel uncomfortably hot all over, I grit my teeth and fold my arms over my chest. If I'm really upset I can start to shake or even cry. If I'm crying it's about to get bad. . .
Love: I feel a flutter in my heart as if it's skipping a beat. I also get warm fuzzy feelings which make me smile like a dope.
Excitement: I tense up and grin like an idiot. Usually talk super fast and end up saying the wrong think becuase I haven't thought it all ouy yet and its a case of oh crap that sounded so much better in my head.
Fear: I typically feel sick to my stomach, stammer and tremble.
Hate: makes me feel hot and sick. If it's bad I sometimes grind my teeth, bite my tongue and/or clentch my fists.
Sadness: My chest hurts, it gets tight like I'm about to have an anxiety attack. Obiously it's usually because I am about to cry. If I have to speak its usually not very understandable due to my voice being high and tight from emotion. An Ex once told me I'd like to know what your saying but only dogs can hear you now. (they weren't being rude or mean what I was saying was inaudible to human ears)
Joy: I smile, dance about and generally act like a goofball. When I'm in a good mood I laugh/giggle/cackle A LOT. I can be touchy feely with those close to me whether it's a hug or even just a touch on the shoulder.

Anger: I can't sit still, and I tend to pace a lot. I have the urge to hit, slap or kick somebody and beat the hell out of them. My chest'll then begin to hurt and sometimes I can struggle to breathe.
Love: I tend to get very embarrassed very quickly. My face will go bright red and I'll jump up and down a lot. If the subject is touched on, and it's focus is on me and who I like, I might laugh occasionally as well, which links into nervousness.
Excitement: I squeal like a five year old when they see a fluffy animal and grab the nearest person I know, and begin to point at what I'm excited at. I'm basically a toddler.
Fear: If it get's too bad, I'll have a breakdown and cry. However, usually I will avoid eye-contact and try to make myself look confident. I will grab onto my trousers/skirt tightly and sweat.
Hate: I will curl up into a ball where I am and scream. I will get abnormally hot and will shake viciously.
Sadness: I won't be able to get out of bed/off of a chair. I'll look tired and deprived.
Joy: I will feel warm and giddy and I'll blush a lot. I won't be able to stop smiling.

That was interesting. I'm sorry you feel bad a lot but glad you got your kids, they sound sweet. Awww

Wow, this was so detailed...I love this
Not sure I could really answer all those, but there is one thing I've definitely noticed. Negative feelings in general, if they are significant enough to cause an actual upset, make my throat hurt. If I'm in a stressful situation and I randomly mention that my throat hurts, chances are I'm close to tears or already suppressing them.

Hmmm. That's interesting. When you said that I could kind of picture it. A a psychosomatic thing...when I picture what it feels like to be crying, yeah...the throat does something. Like tightens up or vibrates or something. I think for me it is the same except only if I was actually crying. Thanks, Novalyyn! There've been just a handful of people and it's already it seems like there are so many different reactions to emotions here. Amazing. Good for writing, too.

Yes! I was thinking the same thing. Good for us as writers to read all these different reactions! I loved your descriptions and yep I do that "it sounded better in my head" thing too,but for nervousness. I forgot to put nervousness as an emotion--oh well. This stuff is great. Thank you for sharing!
Yesssssss
Anger:
My jaw aches with the tightness of the muscles there, and my forearms with the clenching of my hands. My knees itch with the want to kick; my teeth itch with the want to bite. Anger can be really intense! I think it gives me migraines and tension pains.
Love:
Oh, that’s a warm one! My chest feels full, but also light. I could scoot around like a helium balloon. My fingers experience a kind of tingling, carbonation-esque. I sometimes get a lot of phantom feeling in my arms like I’m hugging someone (probably because I feel like someone really ought to be getting hugged).
Excitement:
Everything goes very fast, suddenly. I have to be careful with this one, that it doesn’t spill over into mania. Depending on the kind of excitement and what it’s for, I might do a little dance where I stand - starts in the feet, gets the shoulders wiggling. If it’s a more internal excitement, I’m about to do a lot! Of! Reading! About whatever I’m excited about! Or I’m about to immerse myself in it in some other way, that’s for sure, hahaha!
Fear:
Cold and hard - stone-like. I want to tremble in every limb, because it feels like there should be motion, but I’m stuck standing stock still. You’d think I’d feel very active inside to compensate, but it’s like a yawning chasm internally and the hollow is terrifying. There’s nothing except for me and the fear.
Hate:
Don’t know that I can describe this one well. Off the cuff, I wanna say it’s like anger, but hotter - but that’s not right. I think it’s probably too intense to register. You know how, when something you touch is hot enough, for just a moment, it feels very cold? I think hate is like that. And whereas anger is a very “me” emotion - it’s just collected on the inside - hate is a very “them” emotion. I want to cast it out like a throwing knife carved out of an icicle. Luckily? This is so rare. Like SO rare. It’s a huge waste of energy.
Sadness:
I might be able to describe this one the least. I’ve felt it a lot, but for a lot of reasons, I haven’t let myself examine the particulars very closely. Sorry! All I can tell you is that it ends in an awful, tired headache, or a big grey nothing-feeling.
Joy:
Pff, okay, this one is like “love” and “excitement” somehow had a calmer, matronly baby. (
) It’s like those, but expansive. How to describe it? Like I’m bigger and warmer than my body and I want to shine that warmth gently down on everyone. If I’m happy, I want to share it. I keep thinking about the ache in my cheeks from smiling too wide for a while, but it’s the best ache.

Anger: I usually get really warm, glare at the floor, get real quiet, until I talk than I'm usually shouting, swear a lot more, grit my teeth, and depending on how mad I get, spit unintentionally when I'm talking. To make matters worse, when I'm angry, minor annoyances are snow balled into big things that only serve to make me angrier, like when I'm trying to speak and can't think of the word I want to say, or say the wrong word, which ahppens enough when I'm not angry as is. Thankfully, my temper is like an alcohol fire, and burns up its fuel after a minute or two, so I usually calm down pretty quickly.
Love: My heart beats faster and I generally feel happier I think. IDK, I don't have much experience with romantic love. Platonic love is also kinda hard to describe. It's one of those things you don't really notice until either you don't have it or nearly lose it. I know that it's one of those really happy feelings, cause when I'm around people I care about and love, I tend to generally be alot happier, and a lot more social, which is something I struggle with in groups of people I'm not familiar with.
Excitement: I get really physical, jumping around, swaying, doing little dances, etc. I talk a lot too.
Fear: My heart sinks, I start to shake, my legs get real warm, and I think my extremities get cold after that. Sometimes afterwards, depending on what spooked me, usually with dogs, I have to take a second to calm down, and sometimes laugh afterwords. IDK why though
Hate: Like with love, don't have much experience with this. At least I don't think I do. I assume it'd be a lot like anger.
Sadness: I get quiet and try to be alone. If I'm about to cry my throats gets a little sore, and sometimes it makes me mad.
Joy: A lot like excitement, but less physical. Most of the time goes hand in hand with excitement, and in some situations leads to excitement.
Love: My heart beats faster and I generally feel happier I think. IDK, I don't have much experience with romantic love. Platonic love is also kinda hard to describe. It's one of those things you don't really notice until either you don't have it or nearly lose it.

Excitement: I get really physical, jumping around, swaying, doing little dances, etc. I talk a lot too.
Fear: My heart sinks, I start to shake, my legs get real warm, and I think my extremities get cold after that. Sometimes afterwards, depending on what spooked me, usually with dogs, I have to take a second to calm down, and sometimes laugh afterwords. IDK why though
Hate: Like with love, don't have much experience with this. At least I don't think I do. I assume it'd be a lot like anger.
Sadness: I get quiet and try to be alone. If I'm about to cry my throats gets a little sore, and sometimes it makes me mad.
Joy: A lot like excitement, but less physical. Most of the time goes hand in hand with excitement, and in some situations leads to excitement.
