Listen to the Entire Lesson

In this lesson, we will cover several emotions we didn't cover yet. The ones I want to talk about are, being emotional, feeling no emotions, restlessness, proud, and anxiety. If you have questions concerning any emotion we didn't cover, feel free to ask questions anytime.

Emotional

If your emotions change easily, then you are an emotional person. An emotional person can also be described as one who is affected by things such as sad movies, criticism, or easily angered. In this lesson, we will go through some sentences talking about emotional people.

When someone is way too emotional and it affects how they act in a negative way, some people will call them a psycho.

Other Emotions - Feeling Nothing

No emotions

Feeling no emotions is one of the worst emotions. Many times it is described as being dead on the inside. Without emotions, it is hard to tell if you are a person. Here are some sentences I heard people say.

Other Emotions - Restless

Restless

Being restless is an uncomfortable feeling. You feel like you want to do something, but there is nothing to do. It's hard to sit still and you have too much negative energy.

Being restless is having too much negative energy."
Being restless is terrible because it's being bored when your body wants to do something."

I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm so restless."

I'm either bored or restless. I can't tell."

Other Emotions - Proud

Proud

You can either be proud of yourself or someone you care about, such as your children. When you are proud, it is the result of accomplishing something. Here are some sentences you can use.

I'm so proud of you."

Proud can be used in a negative way. Proud can be seen as cocky or overconfident.

Other Emotions - Anxious and Anxiety

Anxiety / Anxious

Anxiety is a pretty serious emotional problem. When you feel many different emotions or awkward emotions and can't control them, it is referred to as having an anxiety disorder. Many people suffer from this problem.
