A year ago I got fired from a job that I hated. My boss was mean, demanding, misogynistic and distrustful. He was also a dark-skinned man from Ethiopia with a strong accent. Recently I have found myself immediately feeling anger and dislike towards people with similar traits. A black Jamaican woman that I work with, the Nigerian priest at my cousin's wedding... Even though these people have done nothing to earn my dislike my brain decided, before I even spoke with these people, that it didn't like them. And it's not just physical characteristics, either. This weekend my family had dinner with my grandparents; and after eating I was joking around with my grandpa, who is a very non-serious, silly person, and he said something to me and shook his head with a disappointed look just like my old boss used to. Right away I felt that same angry shame that I used to feel every day at my old job and I couldn't tell if he was joking anymore. I wanted to get up and run away, but then he laughed and I felt ok again. It was crazy that such a simple movement could spark such a reaction in me.

[@jessicalin5105]

I just stumbled across this video randomly. I clicked because "feels" was in the title. I found myself listening to so much sense that I was shook. As a person who experiences high anxiety, I couldn't take another video that professed "you're not alone" or "it gets better" or some version of "i went through it and so can you." But this video explains the different processes our minds and bodies go through when experiencing emotion and has examples of experiments and explains things so well. We rationalize emotions based on other ppls reactions and what were told. In my opinion saying that it's all in ur head is the most damaging thing to say to a person because then they don't know how to deal with it because they think it's not real. So how do you deal with something that isn't real. Emotions may be irrational but that in no way means they're not real.

[@crashcourse]

Even if you're Mel Gibson or Kanye, it's probably best to not wear all of your emotions on your sleeve. In this episode of Crash Course Psychology, ***** talks about these things called "Emotions". What are they? And why do we need them?

This video has been incredibly useful to me. My mum has depression and has to take pills to stabilize her emotions. However, sometimes she refuses to take them because they stop her feeling any kind of emotion. Her doctor told her that she must take the pills or else she will be dismissed (no longer seen by the doctor), and that she needs to get used to a life without emotion. This video has explained to me the importance of emotion and why mum find the lack of feelings unbearable. I will show her this, and maybe she will understand why she hates the pills, and might be able to use it against the doctor... or something.

[@ashutoshsinghrathore2848]

We often feel the emotion with our bodies as much as with our brains. Like if you change the physical environment of someone from a sad-boring place to an entertaining and happy place his or emotions will also change. And sometimes if you are not sad and starts crying then eventually you will remember something which will make you sad. So people, be there where you feel good, and do the things which make you feel happy.

[@blancambonazzibonaca2795]

Thanks Hank. I enjoy your crash courses because when I am reading a psychology book and I am having a hard time with it, because they are usually dry, I check your work and the work of others, and I am able to understand it much better. You do a lot of google for me. I use many sources. In this episode, you are giving a quick overview on emotion, you mentioned the theorists, and that is my next step. I am going to read more on that. I am from the pre-internet times, so all my google was done at the library. New students take this for granted. Perhaps you should do an episode on how students did their research before, or perhaps it would be for your brother (in history).

Emotions: Gotta Feel 'em All!

[@gobgobbins4529]

I've wondered quite frequently the difference in the non-nuerotypical mind when in comes to dissecting the individual responses and actions of various parts of the brain. Me being a diagnosed autist (aspergers), I am always curios in how different parts of the brain respond differently to different situations. For instance in this particular video, arousal is talked about often. I have always founnd it hard to be aroused in this sense. Often being called cold and emotionless. I very rarely have an emotional response to different stimuli. Even such things like roller coasters where you would expect to see and feel arousal, I often feel negligible reactions. Its common for me to get off a ride and see myself straight faced on the picture they take and see everyone else screaming with their eyes closed and mouths wide open. I would be interested in seeing a crash course psychology video detailing the different oddities or abnormalities that you see with non-nuerotypical minds and how the different parts of the brain act different. This would be cool detailing exactly what various types of autism are from a physiological stand point as well as psycopathy, schizophrenia and even the controversial D.I.D. I want to say some of these things have been talked about some. I may have just missed a video. But I think it would be cool to see a video talking about how different parts of the brain act differently with different people and how that affects their personality.

[@gobgobbins4529]

Ps. I really like this series. Don't stop!

[@eponderland]

I also have asperger's. As far as I'm aware everyone experiences emotion differently, but people like you or me don't express them in the same way as others. We still feel them, just not to the same degree. If there's an emotion I feel strongly it's frustration, it's very difficult not to be when people constantly misunderstand you and you can't express yourself in a way they understand. Because all people are different it might just be that your reactions are very reduced, either you have lower numbers of receptors or lower numbers or releasers of hormones and neurotransmitters. I wouldn't worry about it though, if people call you cold and emotionless at least you'll look badass.

Even if it is just a few more seconds of standing and waving?

[@Competitive_Antagonist]

This has actually provided usefull information. I've long thought there was a distinction between two basic different kinds of emotions. The distinction of "high-road" and "low-road" makes sense. When you see a frightening image there's no time to stop and think about what this image means to you as your brain interpets it as physically there and you need to respond immediately, via the autonomic nervous system. Though if it's a stimulus that does'nt require immediate action your cortex has time to process the data and so can consciously decide on how to respond. Appraisal can probably only happen in certain situations.

Feelings can be negative or positive. Positive feelings by and large prompt to satisfaction however negative feelings lead you to pity, bothered, fear and so on. Feelings are furious, frightened, love, bliss. Feelings can be moment or can be long. A few feelings excite us and some quiet us down. Disagreeable feelings push us to survive.

[@eTHEdiamond]

Emotions invlove physiological arousal, expressive behaviours (socially), conscious experience AND purpose (functioning in a way to direct your behaviour). Also, they don't just happen at any stimulus, the stimulus needs to be percieved as important. Talking about theories, the facial feedback hypothesis is quite interesting as well.

[@senseiadam-brawlstars9465]

[@ferret813]

Emotions are our life force.... Literally, they give us the energy to do everything, they give us our purpose. Without them we would just be robots. Or fleshy husks just bent on survival. We have them for a reason. Just like we have eyes to see or ears to hear. We have a heart or soul or essence, whatever you want to call it, to feel. Emotions are like different lenses we look through. We need to stop being terrified of them as a species and follow the natural way. Embrace them. There are no wrong feelings.... Only wrong actions

[@lurkern]

[@regularguy8888]

I love how the animations moove their so wobbly prob taught some people to dance just looking at them

[@atmassylphen6785]

The only emotions we really need is anger and fear. Happiness (or contentedness) is the default state of the average person, so feelings of fear and anger would just return back to the equilibrium once it's been expressed. The only reason we would need such emotions is purely for survival (Fear for fleeing potential danger, and anger for keeping some kind of offensive against malicious acts). Logic, a state devoid of emotion, is the ideal we must all be striving towards.

[@joshwrigley3245]

I heard that motion on the left hand side of the body is controlled by the right hand side of the brain and vice versa. For left handed people the right side of the brain is developed more than the left side and in right handed people the left hemisphere is overdeveloped. Coupled with the idea mentioned in the video that emotions are also divided into hemispheres, does this mean that which hand you use is a factor in your emotional behaviour?

Interesting Psyc Fact: though there are many contributors to emotion, physicality has a major influence, shown in one study where participants were asked to hold a pen in their mouth either cross-ways (i.e. parallel to the face) or long-ways (i.e. perpendicular to the face). Participants who had to hold the pen cross-ways reported increased feelings of happiness on a post-experiment questionnaire, because holding the pen in that way was forcing their mouth into a smile shape.

[@Libya4LY]

That's sort of talked about in the video; the James-Lange theory

Yeah, I just wanted to give an example :)

[@ssppeellll]

"Participants who had to hold the pen cross-ways reported increased feelings of happiness on a post-experiment questionnaire, because holding the pen in that way was forcing their mouth into a smile shape." The conclusion is just a hypothesis, isn't it? It sounds reasonable, but is there some reason to be sure of the cause-and-effect relationship you proffered--that is, the part that came after "because"?

They inferred causality as the shape of the mouth was the only thing they manipulated, and they found significantly different reported happiness levels. They designed the experiment in the manner they did to remove the possibility of the participants guessing the reason for the experiment (which they may have if told to "smile"), but I suppose there could have been a confounding factor :)

[@GamerGal2461]

This is also apparent in people who had Botox, as Hank talked 'bout in another episode. People who had the stuff in their face had less depression because their facial muscles had less mobility, forcing them to have more of a smile.

[@colleenglittersx3]

Hank, you're next crash course series after psych should be computers/computer technology! I'm in the process of buying a college laptop, and I didn't realize just how clueless I am about this sort of stuff! I don't really know any of the technical terms I keep seeing pop up! And don't even get me started on trying to figure out what the cloud is. You could do so many videos with that series too! Videos about windows, mac, chromebooks, differences between processors, so much!

[@Panda88123]

Love all the info and overall structure of the video. I'd add more pauses in the narrative though😬 made my brain steam a little- but then again it's a crash course👍🏻

[@maggiealice137]

I'm no doctor (although they don't know much either) but what if our emotions are chemical processes that are triggered by the autonomic nervous system or something. Like for example, when you cry that requires different chemicals to be released to get the imbalance of the chemicals out of your body, I don't know, just an idea.

[@norelfarjun3554]

I think it's pretty clear that the emotional and physiological responses are two sides of the same process. Maybe we can even define the emotional side as physiological as well. The brain regularly analyzes the situation around you according to the information that comes from the senses and according to past experience you have accumulated When he identifies a situation that could be a danger, the reaction is what we call fear This reaction is both physiological and emotional.

This might sound weird but I have cried and then suddenly felt sad. It does not happen too often, but like for example if it is very cold and the wind hits my eyes it causes them to water, and then it is like I am crying and then I feel like I am sad when I am not sad at all. Very strange phenomenon!

You guys should make the episodes of CrashCourse into podcasts, it would be nice to be able to listen to the lessons while doing other things instead of being stuck to the screen. I know that people aren't actually stuck to the screen but it makes it easier to get other things done (chores, eating, exercise) if it was just sound and not an attention grabbing video.

Pokemon is probably the game/TV series that brings about the most nostalgia in the audience. Many of these people will remember the good, the bad, the easy, and the hard parts of that title along with the feelings that go along with them. The feelings experienced by this nostalgia have been given the term "feels" by the internet, hence the title and choice of character shown.
