How many emotions are there and what are they?

There are hundreds of emotions! I couldn't name all of them off the top of my head but there are resources out there to help you understand your emotions and how to identify them.

I think that the four main emotions are : Anger, Sadness, Happiness and Anxiety. All of the other things that you feel are linked to these four main emotions.

I wouldn't say you could put a specific number on how many emotions there are because we are all individuals and we all feel things differently, and to different extents.

There are 6: anger, joy, disgust, fear, sadness and surprise. These are the main and most easily identifiable emotions.

there are four basic human emotions, but actually there are six basic emotions: anger, fear, surprise, disgust, happiness and sadness

There are 6 principal emotions: anger, happiness, fear, sadness, surprise and disgust. There are many also, but these are the basic ones.

Emotions exist on a spectrum! There are hundreds of different emotions, some being very similar, with the same underlying ingredients and some very different. Think of it like a painter's palette of colors, with emotions being made up of a lot of different parts!

There are a massively huge range of emotions. They are not limited to happy and sad because there are emotions in between. It is like looking at a rainbow there are the basic colours but how many shades or blue or green are there? The list goes on. There are the main emotions such as happy but they can be broken down into smaller categories and ranges such as how happy is someone? like slightly happy or overjoyed. There are many different forms of research into this topic which is quite interesting. However the most common theory is Aristotle found 14 emotions fear, confidence, anger, friendship, calm, enmity, shame, shamelessness, pity, kindness, envy, indignation, emulation, and contempt.

Emotions is what makes u human, what makes u determine right from wrong. Else you will just be a person with no feelings. Don't think that is quite interesting..
