7 psychological states youve never heard of and when you experienced them

Id like to give some information about 7 psychological states youve never heard of and when you experienced them. Everybody knows what you mean when you say you're happy or sad. But what about all those emotional states you don't have words for? Here are ten feelings you may have had, but never knew how to explain. The first one is dysphoria often being used to describe depression and it is a general state of sadness that includes restlessness, lack of energy, anxiety, and vague irritation. It is the opposite of euphoria, and is different from typical sadness because it often includes a kind of jumpiness and some anger. You have probably experienced it in response to a distressing situation, extreme boredom, or depression. The second one is enthrallment. Psychology professor W. Gerrod Parrott has divided human emotions into subcategories, which themselves have their own subcategories. One subcategory of joy, "enthrallment," is a state of intense rapture. You might experience it when you see an incredible spectacle a concert, a movie, a rocket taking off that captures all your attention and elevates your mood to tremendous heights. Psychiatric theorist Christopher Bollas invented the idea of normopathy to describe people who are so focused on blending in and conforming to social norms that it becomes a kind of mania. A person who is normotic is often unhealthily fixated on having no personality at all, and only doing exactly what is expected by society. Many people experience mild normopathy at different times in their lives, especially when trying to fit into a new social situation, or when trying to hide behaviors they believe other people would condemn. Another feeling is abjection. Every human goes through a period of abjection as tiny children when we first realize that our bodies are separate from our parents' bodies this sense of separation causes a feeling of extreme horror. Often, abjection is what you are feeling when you witness or experience something so horrific that it causes you to throw up. A classic example is seeing a corpse or open wounds. A very interesting feeling is the repetition compulsion and was explained by S. Freud as the desire to return to an earlier state of things. On the surface, a repetition compulsion is something you experience fairly often. It's the urge to do something again and again. Maybe you feel compelled to always order the same thing at your favorite restaurant, or always take the same route home. But theres sometime the urge to date people who treat you bad, over and over, even though you know in advance it will turn out worse. Freud ultimately decided that the cause of our urge to repeat was directly linked to what he called "the death drive," or the urge to stop existing, to go back to our pre-living state. You know that feeling of crazy emptiness you get when you realize that something you believed isn't actually true? And then things feel even more weird when you realize that actually, the thing you believed might be true and might not and you'll never really know? That's aporia. Some psychologists argue that there are some feelings we can only have as members of a group these are called intergroup and intragroup feelings. Often you notice them when they are in contradiction with your personal feelings. For example, many people feel intergroup pride and guilt for things that their countries have done, even if they weren't born when their countries did those things. Though you did not fight in a war, and are therefore not personally responsible for what happened, you share in an intergroup feeling of pride or guilt. A group feeling can only come about through membership in a group, and isn't something that you would ever have on your own. But that doesn't mean group feelings are any less powerful than personal ones. To sum up there are a lot of different psychological states that we dont know about or we just dont know what they are called like dysphoria, aporia, repetition compulsion and abjection, but they do exist.
