12 Emotions You Might Feel But Can't Explain

I hope everyone is doing well, even with the Covid-19 virus and self-isolation. Once it's over, we will be stronger. We know that not everyone wants to hear or be reminded all the time of the Coronavirus, so today's video, we will do what we do best. Psych2Go will continue educating the public about various psychology topics and mental health. Today's topic is on emotions and types of emotions that we may experience at one point or another, but can not explain. Do you have those feelings where everyone around you has their own stories, but you know for a fact that you won't get to know all the stories? How do you describe that emotion? Apparently, the term is sonder. What about the feeling when you find someone so attractive for no reason, but you can't really explain it? It's not love or infatuation, but something closer to envy. Apparently, there's a term for that too. It's called Hanker Sore.

How’s everyone feeling and coping? We’re just stuck at home making videos for you guys :)

[tylerluehrs]

You guys ever have that really weird realization that “I am a person” “or I am looking through the eyes of me and no one else can see this point of view” “am I real?” This sounds so dumb because it’s really hard to explain.

[ryannc.]

Does anyone ever get suddenly feel really sad, like you really miss something. But you can’t seem to remember what you miss?

[emilyx]

It’s crazy how you’ll never know what it’s like to be someone else, you only ever know what it’s like to be you

[napi]

That weird feeling when you're in traffic/ walking in a parc or something and you realize that every person around you has a life. It's hard to explain but in my head its like "this person sitting might be going through a divorce" or "this lady in her car is maybe going to her first job interview" like you realize that they are not just some random extra in the movie of your life but they actually have their own movie... Or is it just me ? ^_^'

Does anyone else ever think about how insane it is, that you're actually a living person, who can feel and think on your own.

[eilean]

Anyone else get really nostalgic and suddenly have the realization that you are never going to be a kid again, that your life isn't going to start over or go backward, and that life only moves in one direction and you can't stop time and you just want to make every second count but you have no idea how? Just me? Ok.

[noteithne]

The feeling of realizing, that every person is a real thing. That they see with their own eyes and think.

[hana-gyki]

Does anyone else have a sudden and unexpected feeling of happiness/contentment/ecstasy for like, a moment and you randomly get excited for everything? But then that feeling disappears three seconds after lmao.

[imadiganable]

the feeling when you realize that everything is real, i don’t know how else to explain it

[RuthTshilanda]

Has anyone ever had that feeling where you’re too aware of your body and you suddenly feel like you’re in third person it’s kinda scary lmao, or when you’re daydreaming and suddenly you have deep thoughts about life in general like what happens when you die or what if you’re in space and just float around, where do you end up. It just makes you realise how small you really are and how little we know

[emilyjaje]

have you ever had the feeling like "man, this is my life, I'm in this body, i'm seeing through these eyes.."

Edit: OH MY FRENCH FRIES!!! THANK YOU GUYS!!! I honestly thought I was the only one! ;-;

[Sariahec]

That feeling like pre-nostalgia, when you just KNOW you’re going to miss a moment once it’s gone and it makes you sad and desperate to hold onto/recreate it even when you’re still in that moment/experience. Anyone? 😅

[Dominik-ezgn]

Has anyone ever had that feeling like "Am I a good friend? Why do people like me? Do they really like me?" I get that a lot.

[ivorydawn]

[lusine]

[anabeaus]

The feeling when you're in a very happy moment with family, but then you're kind of sad because it isn't going to last forever

[vveonyx]

So it’s just me who gets this weird sudden moment where they feel like they’re living in third person for a few seconds and has the realisation they don’t really feel like themselves? Agh i need help!!

[aalruu]

Sometimes I just feel.... uncomfortable?
Not physically, more like “I don’t know what to do with myself right It’s hard to explain..
Sometimes a song, movie, video etc. can make me feel uncomfortable too....

[anam]

Does anyone else have that feeling of “I wonder how I look in other people’s eyes” like “how do they see me?” what thoughts go on in their mind while looking at my facial features/physical characteristics
