Emotions are a major type of feeling.
Feelings also includes various sensations of pain, pleasure, comfort and so on.
Some overlap of feelings may exist if disgusted for example which is partly an automatic bodily, instinctual reaction to things we should not ingest.
These are major types of emotions via my own words (like in the above pic of the Pixar movie "Inside Out"):
-
Joy
-
Sadness
-
Anger
-
Fear
-
Disgust
These definitions of each major type of emotions have been helpful to me:
joys, happiness, satisfaction - these feelings may be experienced as a result of good work, exercise, developing true understanding and good fun to start a list of causes of joy
anger, madness - anger is either a consequence of denying good reasoning (madness, delusion) or, if properly directed, sternly and calmly addressing wrongdoing; if such anger is indulged in becomes hatred (wishing for malevolence) or even wrath (desiring malevolence) which are each unwise
sadness, depression - we can lessen sadness by grieving unto true understanding of a loss and via acting upon redemptive possibilities; depression occurs if we linger in life by failing to act with legitimate purpose
fear, anxiety, worry - these are because of imminent, imagined, or impending (in respective order) threat, hazard, or danger
disgust, upset, loathing - an instinctual, intuitive, or intellectual response (or these at once, an intelligent and sentient response) to something in nature or people's conduct (past or present) that is or could be bad for us, bad for life
If this succinct list doesn't completely suffice for whatever reason, this is a list of such words to help describe feelings and emotions from "A Cup of Empathy" by Marianne (Cup of Empathy - Nonviolent Communication Online Courses & Sessions):
