Comment on There's no emotion we ought to think harder about than angerparent

Comments

It might be that emotion and behavior are so tightly coupled that they are effectively both learned and it doesn't make complete sense to distinguish them.

For example, when I used to struggle more with these feelings, I'd get into tirades which were behavioral reactions that, rather than simmering things down, would just further amplify my anger. Similarly, I think forcing yourself to smile and other subtle behaviors actually can have an emotional effect.
