What’s In A Feeling

What’s in a feeling you may ask? Why the hell am I interested in expressing the way I feel.  Above all, why in an open forum?Well, feelings convey information about situations, on both conscious and subconscious levels, via at least 30 neurochemicals acting alone or in concert in complex ways. It’s the experiencing of affective and emotional states.  It’s an intuitive understanding of something. Feeling is communication from essence.

If you didn’t know, I’m a psychology student and fascinated about the way the way we feel about different things that happen in our lives.

Feeling in psychology is usually reserved for the conscious subjective experience of emotion.

I’m not talking about the feeling which is one of the basic physical senses of which the skin contains the chief end organs and of which the sensations of touch and temperature are characteristic. It’s about the appreciative or responsive awareness or recognition. It’s more of an emotional state or reaction. I’ll be blogging about the way I feel about various events that happen in my life and things that I feel the need to appreciate or criticize.

I’ve just told you what feeling is and why I’m interested in expressing the way I feel. But, why in a blog like this? Isn’t life all about sharing? Let me be honest, I’d rather blog my feelings than talk it out to someone who’s not interested. I’m hoping that the search engines only bring people who want to identify with these feelings.

So, here I am, sharing my thoughts, emotions and feeling… Happy reading!
