All the multiple feelings and emotions we couldn't put into words have now been identified. Scientists believe that we have infinite emotions as long as we can name them. Here are a few below:
- Creditphoria - The sickening regret, mingled with pleasure, denial, delusion, and mania, of walking into a store you don’t belong in and buying something you cannot afford.
- Angstalgia -Feelings of acute nostalgia for a time to which you would dread to return.
- Moral Masturbation - The solitary pleasure of being right.
- Rembarrassment - An overwhelming feeling of humiliation at the memory of an awkward or shameful experience from long ago, often acute and unrelated to current circumstances.
- Indecision-Appreciation Disparity - The inability to enjoy the outcome of a choice you didn’t actively make.
- Liegasm - The sick pleasure of knowing you’re lying and getting away with it — you feel it a little bit in your bellybutton. A quickening of the heart; a bit of bile in the throat; a hot, wicked shame
- Groundhog Day–ity - The sinking feeling upon realizing that the lesson you learned last week, and the week before that, and last year, and that other time eight years ago, is the one you also “learned” again just now.
- Doglessness - The special grief of losing a canine.
- Premoji - The feeling you get when you’re searching on your smartphone for an emoji that doesn’t exist.
- Instagrief - The destabilized sensation you get on vacation, or visiting somewhere, or maybe just in daily life, when you have before you a beautiful scene, or something shareable, an adorable family moment, say, and you become caught between two impulses: the desire to be engaged inside the moment in a Zen way, to just experience it, and, at the same time, a desire to find your phone, get the camera on, and take a postable photo.
