The Grave of Emotions

Emotions are complicated, especially when you try to communicate them to someone else. We'll help you put five major emotions into words and give you tips for managing the messier feelings that come with being human.

Fortunately, you don’t have to navigate the process of identifying your emotions alone. Paul Ekman, a psychologist and leading researcher on emotions, surveyed more than 100 scientists and used their input to develop what’s known as the Atlas of Emotions.

This online interactive tool breaks down emotions into five main categories:

anger
fear
sadness
disgust
enjoyment
Keep in mind that this is just one way of categorizing emotions. For example, a recent study suggests that there are 27 categories of emotion. But Ekman’s concept of five main types of emotion offers a good framework for breaking down the complexity of all the feels.

Sometimes these emotions kills and fall in our grave. To read what it is read ""THE GRAVE OF EMOTIONS.""
