Well honey, whatever we do has something to do with emotions. That is one thing we cannot do without or avoid as it's part of us.

Classification by primary emotions

One of the most influential classification approaches in the study of emotion is Robert Plutchik’s eight primary emotions. The emotions that Plutchik lists as primary are:

* anger
* fear
* sadness
* joy
* disgust
* surprise
* curiosity
* acceptance

Similar to the way primary colors combine, primary emotions are believed to blend together to form the full spectrum of human emotional experience. Plutchik reasons that these eight are primary on evolutionary grounds, by relating each to behavior with survival value. For example: fear motivates flight from danger, anger motivates fighting for survival. They are considered to be part of our biological heritage and built into human nature.

Paul Ekman devised a similar list of basic emotions from cross-cultural research on the Fore tribesmen of Papua New Guinea. He found that even members of an isolated, stone age culture could reliably identify the expressions of emotion in photographs of people from cultures which the Fore were not yet familiar, and concluded that the facial expression of some basic emotions is innate. The following is Ekman’s list of basic emotions:

* anger
* fear
* sadness
* happiness
* disgust

Ekman holds that this lends further support to the view that at least some emotions are primary, innate, and universal in all human beings.

Lazarus (1991) similarly offers a taxonomy of 'Core Relational Themes' for various emotions; these help define both function and eliciting conditions. They include a demeaning offense against me and mine for anger; facing an immediate, concrete, and overwhelming physical danger for fear; having experienced an irrevocable loss for sadness; taking in or being too close to an indigestible object or idea (metaphorically speaking) for disgust; making reasonable progress toward the realization of a goal for happiness.

Physical responses

Attached to the idea of primary emotions as innate is the notion that each emotion causes a detectable physical response in the body. These responses are often perceived as sensation in the body; for example:

* Fear is felt as a heightened heartbeat, increased “flinch” response, and increased muscle tension.
* Anger, based on sensation, seems indistinguishable from fear.
* Happiness is often felt as an expansive or swelling feeling in the chest and the sensation of lightness or buoyancy, as if standing underwater.
* Sadness is often experienced as a feeling of tightness in the throat and eyes, and relaxation in the arms and legs.
* Shame can be felt as heat in the upper chest and face.
* Desire can be accompanied by a dry throat, heavy breathing, and increased heart rate.

In psychotherapy, practitioners of Re-evaluation Counseling propose that distressing emotions are relieved by emotional “discharge”. Hence crying, laughing, sweating, shaking, and trembling. These actions commonly associated emotions, are thought to not be the original sensation, but instead nearly automatic responses that dispel the discomfort of disturbing feelings.

Answer 4

You don't drink enough. Scotch evens my keel out daily.

Answer 5

could it be that you have not developed "callouses" ?

on the other hand,

If the intense sensitivity only happens from time to time, it could be that parts of your (emotional) life are out of equilibrium and this disrupts your normal ability to deal with perceptions on a day-to-day basis.
