Effectively Stating Emotions

I turned to see him standing there awkwardly with those goddamned puppy eyes peering at me from behind his glasses. I wasn’t really mad at him to begin with, and seeing him look so ashamed about it just made my heart melt. Crossing my arms in mock irritation over my light blue tanktop, I pouted. “That wasn’t a very nice thing to do,

I feel that I did not do a very good job at being a very good husband towards you or being a good father to our kids. I blame myself because I tried to save you from being accused as a witch and I now I am being sentence to death. I don’t want to leave you, and our kids. I love you so much! Also, I regret having that fight with you. I never meant anything I said about your attitude “being frozen as beer”. I regret having that moment with Abigail, because I had a gut feeling in

This was not the first time I heard a “no”, but it sure felt like it. I instantly felt sick to my stomach. I could feel this all too familiar feeling of my face beginning to heat, just as it did before tears were about to fall. I did not want to cry, at least not here, not in front of everyone. Crying would only fuel the numerous apologies and the reassuring words that at the moment, I did not want to

Past research has shown that emotional messages, negative messages, and arousing messages are far more effective than non-emotional messages because these messages involve the audience more, grab the audience’s attention, and are better remembered because of their ability to activate certain motivational systems.

Pathos driven messages appeal to a person’s emotions, and can often bring out emotions that can reside in them already. There are lots of ways to see them in our daily lives; on the Internet, the radio, or the television. An example of a heavily pathos driven message is UNICEF USA: Save a Child for Only 50 cents a Day.

The well-known writer and cognitive scientist/cofounder of the Nielsen Norman Group, Donald A. Norman, in his book, Emotional Design: “Why we love (or hate) everyday things”, he analyzes the design elements in products. Norman’s purpose is to show why products we use should not be hard to use but attractive and fun. He explains in tremendous detail how the design of an object affects a person emotionally. He argues that in order for an object to be more successful it must be more attractive to the users. Norman uses concrete evidence to back up his argument. He employs the use of imagery, diction and tone in order to convey to his readers the idea of emotional design.

I never meant to hurt you in any way and make you feel like I didn’t want to talk to you, or that you or movie night or Skype time or any of our other events were a chore. But I wasn’t ignoring you either. I just had a busy weekend. Maybe I should’ve warned you about that, but you also should’ve been vocal about how you were feeling. If you suspected that I didn’t care or was starting to care less or just didn’t like that we weren’t talking as much for that weekend, you should’ve told me. Instead, it was like you just let everything explode at once.

“An appreciation of the power of self-justification helps us understand, therefore, why people who have low self-esteem, or who simply believe that they are incompetent in some domain, are not totally overjoyed when they do something well.” (p..

“I'm sorry to inform you that your parents were in a car accident,” the man stated, the words rolling off his tongue.

I buried my face in my hands and through muffled words spoke in despair, “Well, we might as well get divorced now.”

One will either come out of a situation with a positive or negative concept of these surroundings. Poor communication can cause one to have a poor perception of oneself. One's emotional state, dislikes, likes values and body image are affected by the opinions of others and can render one to have an inferior and insecure self-concept.

“I am not for the moment. Going to worry about whether we can give an account of the result that better comports with our common since why people, ourselves included, do what they do.” People in this world loves to receive appreciation no matter if it’s for a small tasks or big task. When someone has done something for you say, thank you. Saying thank you is a form of appreciation. When you provide motivational words like ‘ I am grateful”, “I appreciate you” or “ you’ve been very helpful” along with saying thank you. Next time that person will work with twice the energy. Appreciating someone else’s work is an art. Not too many people know how to truly appreciate. People use appreciation words for people to carry out effective and happy results. It’s important to learn how to appreciate other people and neglect their faults. When a person is working for you and they feel uncomfortable, there is a great lack of appreciation. It’s important to appreciate their

I answered her “Well, it’s about time one of you children apologized for hurting my flowers, even though that was so long ago. Every time you and those animals used to throw stones at my flowers, I had to replant most of them. I’m glad we’ve moved past that and formed a relationship, but I still appreciate you saying you’re

I am almost at a lost of words and confused. “But, my dear, I thought you would be thrilled to death. You never get a chance to go out, and this is a real affair, a wonderful one! I had an awful time getting a card. Everybody wants one. You’ll see all the most important people there.” Then
