10 frequently experienced emotions that, it turns out, have names

Surely you have at least once in your life experienced the feeling that something that is happening now has already happened before. Or from time to time you are sad about the fact that you will not see how your great-grandchildren will live. Do you know the incomparable feeling of comfort and warmth when it's raining outside the window, and you are basking in a warm bed under a blanket? All these rather complex emotions and feelings have their own names. Most likely, among them there will be the very thing that you often experience, but do not know how to express.

Not to be confused with heavy drugs. Opium is a sudden feeling of excitement when one gaze meets another. Visual contact that provokes a surge of energy. If this is a pleasant person to you, most likely, it will give pleasure. And if your counterpart is a potential threat, such an exchange of views can send a nasty chill through the skin.

Deja vu is translated from French: deja vu — "seen before".

People experience this bitter feeling when they receive an answer to a question that has been tormenting them for a long time and want to go back to the past to tell themselves about the future. There is a good proverb on this topic: "If I knew where to fall, I would lay the straw."

The name for this emotion is formed by adding to the name of the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno, known for his arguments about the impossibility of movement and the immobility of time, the name of Mnemosyne, who personified memory in ancient Greek mythology. The essence of this feeling is that with each subsequent year it begins to seem that the years are passing faster.

Surely everyone at least once after an argument or some discussion scrolled through in his head what had to be said and what could be said in response. These imaginary dialogues are called a joke, and in Russian - "wit on the stairs."

No, we are not talking about fish now, although it is she who is in the photo. We are talking about a state when a person does something, talks, goes somewhere, but does not realize all this, and then cannot remember that he did it all. This may be as a result of drug or alcohol abuse.
