    2. Emotions Emotions are the strong, immediate reactions that you feel in response to an experience.

    3. Love Love is one very important emotion. Love grows out of trust and appreciation.

    4. Anger Anger is another emotion. It can range from annoyance to complete fury.

    5. Fear Fear is another emotion. Jealousy is probably the biggest emotion related to fear. Jealousy is the fear of losing something you already have.

    6. Grief Grief is a natural emotion that most people will experience. It’s caused by the loss of someone or something that is close to you or that you care about.

    7. Guilt Guilt is a feeling of having done something wrong. Guilt can be a helpful emotion. It can help you live according to your conscience.

    8. Defense Mechanisms Some emotions can be difficult to face. Even when you handle a difficult emotion in a healthy way, you may still feel pain. Most people develop ways to protect, or defend, themselves from feeling too much pain using defense mechanisms.

    9. Repression Painful thoughts or feelings are pushed away from conscious thought.

    10. Rationalization This is the act of making an excuse for a behavior. It’s an attempt to preserve self-esteem and to avoid feelings of guilt.

    11. Compensation Covering up faults or weaknesses by trying to excel in other areas.

    12. Projection Seeing your own faults or feelings in other people, even when they do not have them.

    13. Idealization This allows people to see others as they want them to be, but it keeps them from seeing others as they really are. This can help you set personal goals.

    14. Daydreaming This is the creation of make-believe events that seem more pleasant or exciting than the real world. People often daydream to escape the frustration or hurt of difficult situations.

    15. Regression Acting less maturely than you usually would. People regress when they sulk or throw tantrums instead of expressing disappointment maturely.

    16. Denial The refusal to recognize reality. This protects people from facing an unpleasant fact they cannot yet cope with.

    17. Sublimation The replacement of undesirable impulses with acceptable behavior.

    18. Displacement Shifting the feelings about one person or situation to an object of another person.

    19. Reaction Formation People hide their true feelings from themselves by acting in manner opposite to the way they would like to act.

    20. People who depend too heavily on unconstructive defense mechanisms most likely will experience more severe problems later on in life.

    21. Even though some emotions can be hard to deal with, they are something that everyone experiences and they naturally lead to something good…personal growth.
