Contagious feelings | Seth’s Weblog

Feelings are private and more often than not, we will put effort into creating them (or avoiding them).

However in a neighborhood, feelings unfold. And never on the identical charge. Take into account these feelings, roughly sorted by their virality:

• Panic
• Apprehension
• Enthusiasm
• Frustration
• Indignation
• Elation
• Nostalgia
• Curiosity
• Cynicism
• Dedication
• Gratitude
• Vulnerability
• Melancholy
• Triumph
• Contentment
• Resignation
• Apathy
• Overwhelm
• Marvel
• Pleasure
• Satisfaction
• Serenity

If we wish to share the feelings close to the underside of this record, we’re going to have to actually work at it.
