emotions
Joy, rage, sorrow
Emotions are feelings that arise in response to experiences, thoughts, or situations—joy, anger, fear, sadness, love, disgust.
The word often distinguishes feeling from thinking: Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment.
Someone in touch with their emotions acknowledges and understands their feelings.
To show emotion is to display feeling outwardly, especially in contexts where restraint is expected.
