What are feelings and emotions?

Nobody can help having feelings - they are part of everyone. We feel different things all day long as different things happen to us.

Sometimes we feel sad - eg. when someone we love goes away.

Sometimes we feel happy - eg. when we are having fun playing.

Sometimes we feel scared, angry, guilty, lonely or any of a huge range of human emotions.

It is important not to be ashamed of having feelings. Everyone has them - good and bad.

What counts is what we do about our feelings - we can all learn to show our feelings in ways that are helpful to us and to others, not ways that are hurtful.

Looking at emotions

When we are feeling a strong emotion, it's because chemicals are released into our brains. These can make us feel happy, sad, angry etc.

When you watch TV or movies you can usually work out what the character is feeling by looking at the face. Are you good at 'reading' faces?

Here are some faces and a list of words to describe feelings.



Which words do you think go with each face?

happy angry puzzled miserable nervous greedy lazy thoughtful innocent worried bored sick

If you feel positive and are a friendly and happy person, then you will attract other positive people.

If you feel really negative, feel sad, angry and want to hurt people, then you will find that you attract other people who are sad and angry (or you may find yourself alone a lot).
