Sometimes you're thirsty, but mistake it for hunger, so you eat without ever really being satisfied. I feel like emotions are the same. You can think you're bored but be anxious, passionate but really just angry, etc. I think we've got all the emotions, but I wonder if we'll ever find a way to get closer to being aware of our own emotions.
