Uncomfortable Emotions

Uncomfortable emotions are distressing, draining states that signal discomfort or threat. They manifest as tension, heaviness, or coldness—like clenched fists or a tight throat—paired with a mind that’s agitated, hopeless, or fixated on loss. Stemming from conflict, failure, or fear, they encompass anger, sadness, and despair. Examples: yelling in traffic, crying over a photo, lying still after defeat.
