What I mean by translucent emotions is, in effect, emotions lacking the qualitative aspect.
So, I think the most common one is stress. Often times I realise that my forehead is feeling tight, and other telltale signs arise to show that in fact I have been feeling stress, but haven't felt it directly.
Another common one is anger, where it is only after my actions take place that I realise the base motivation was anger.
These stand in stark contrast to regular emotions, where it is completely obvious when say, stress and anger are present, from the moment they are. Instead, I have to observe myself to realise these sneaky things are running around. Which often requires as much focus as controlling strong emotions does.
Am I being crazy or have some of you found the same thing going on in your psyche?
If so, any idea what their nature is? Repression maybe? Any tips on how to spot them?
