Click here and spin the wheel of emotions
Post what emotion you landed on and give one positive and one negative association to this emotion.
I'll go first:
Afraid
Positive: it helps you know when you may be in danger
Negative: it can hold you back from trying new things
Your turn!
Arrogant:
Negative: Thinking you are better than the people around you/ close to you can be isolating if they think you are looking down at them. Could prevent you from learning important lessons from others. The phrase 'pride comes before a fall' comes to mind...
Positive: Can make you feel self confident and good about yourself.
Angry
Positive: An excuse to vent.
Negative: Someone/thung almost always gets hurt.
Emotion: Angry
Positive: It's good to vent your frustrations now and then, instead of letting them build up.
Negative: If not controlled, you may end up hurting yourself or someone else or even breaking something.
I got ecstatic.
Positive- Enthusiasm and strong positive feelings overall.
Negative- Frenzy, distracted and maybe agitated
Suspicious
Positive: It can keep us away from danger.
Negative: We can become too suspicious and end up isolating ourselves.
Hopeful
positive: it can give you something to look forward to. Something good to be excited about.
Negative: it can be misread or misinterpreted. Like in false hope. Hoping for something that is not healthy or will never happen
Emotion: Shy
Positive: Not likely to get in trouble. Usually seen as 'quiet but nice'. People don't come up and talk to you because you stand in the corner.
Negative: Hard to make friends or go anywhere. Sometimes seen as 'too good' for other people because they take your silence as arrogance. Opinions aren't heard because you get talked over.
Depression
Positive: It is an outward sign of something that can't be oversome by the person alone. If adressed soon enough, it will help the person feel healthy again and can blossom into gratefulness.
Negative: It can be disabling mentally and a great risk to physical health. It seems this is an epidemic in the US today.
