Do actual people feel this way? I received this image during autism therapy and was told to record my feelings in my journal every day. They probably thought doing this would improve my symptoms. But I feel this immense emotion that isn't written here. Come to think of it, none of the books I've read ever depicted emotions like this. What about Pessoa? What does First Mate Starbuck feel when he fills his belly on the ship? Even in "The Little Prince," the emotions they experience aren't written here at all.Are all novels autistic? Or did these "experts" genuinely believe this method could be therapeutic?
>>24782957What the fuck are you talking about? It's simply a way to drill down to fundamental emotions (shit in the middle) from more obscure experiences (shit on the sides) so you can then understand what's happening to you. Example: a person who is feeling worthless reads the circle and understands that they're feeling fear. Oh fear, fear of what I wonder? They explore why they feel fear rather than walking around feeling worthless all the time.
>>24782957I don't think so, I don't get it at all. There's no reason to think feelings, which are a chaotic and usually ineffable thing, fit into a neat, ordered circle. Is it supposed to be equivalent to the color wheel?
>>24782957i feel you, OP
>>24782973>I'm feeling something oh no what is it>Better consult the emotion wheelWhat a retard
>>24783045>I was born knowing everything in the universe actuallyOkay chief. Good job.
>>24782976Emotions are eminently effable. Your individual perception of joy does not differ from everyone else's any more than your individual perception of blue does.

Even in "The Little Prince," the emotions they experience aren't written here at all.could it be that those things you are looking for are a combination of emotions? Happy and sad? Hopeful and frustrated? Cheeky, indifferent, and empty?Maybe the emensity you feel and see is the combination of discreet emotions rather than them not being on this wheel.(I say this cause I also might have autism and they told me to consult the wheel and me haing a hard time placing one. And thought maybe its about a complex of them).
>>24782957Bruh
>>24783103i think literature, and art in general, is all about why this isn't true
>>24783103A feeling is not an object of perception, first of all, but second of all: how do you know? Your experiences of joy are not even identical to one another, let alone anyone else's. 'Tism.
>>24782973I think it works the opposite way. You go from a general emotion into a specialized shade of emotion.>>24783045It's a tool to pinpoint your emotions properly and thus deal with their roots.>I'm angry>Why am I angry?>Because I'm feeling humiliated>Why am I feeling humiliated?>Because I was disrespectedOP is an autist. Autists have trouble processing their emotions: understanding exactly what they feel and how to deal with it. This allows them to select the appropriate feeling and deal with it correctly instead of lashing out or fuming or stimming. The first step to emotional stability and dealing with emotional problems is acknowledging them and understanding what you feel and then why you feel it.>What does First Mate Starbuck feel when he fills his belly on the ship?Satiation. Physical comfort. Physical satisfaction. Less of a feeling and more a sensation. Like pain or physical pleasure.Novels are not autistic. The emotions are usually delivered contextually, through dialogue and actions and the words used to describe actions (he skulked away with his cheeks tomato red and head hidden between shoulder; she marched out of the room with fiery burning eyes and slammed the door behind her). Normies get it on the fly because normies. You're confusing a took given to you to help you understand your subjectivity with literature, which was and is written by normies for normies. I don't know of anything that may come close to autistic cognition in literature. Lovecraft? Wallace?
>>24782957Where would distracted be?
>>24782957>autism therapyDoes your autism therapist know how much time you spend here?

Old autists like me learn from experience
>>24783171Have you read the book? Captain Ahab is driving this ship into madness, and they might all die from that madness, yet he must calmly work under the captain to serve his duties whatsoever. How can you claim that he experienced such a simple emotion as physical satisfaction?
>>24783171What if I process my emotions by gooning
>>24784787That’s bad anon
>>24783223distracted aint a fucken emotion jfc
