You'll Never FEEL in Black & White Again
An exhaustive list of human emotions to use as a lens for crafting your messages, as a persuasive communicator.
With ELOQUENCE being a distinct inroad to charismatic behavior, it is essential to familiarize oneself with this gamut of feelings, to whatever degree one would desire to adopt the charismatic trait of eloquence.
Additionally, if the difference between having something you desire, and having it not, is your ability to see yourself possessing it... then being able to identify it must carry some degree of importance.
BTW: Here's something interesting: I asked ChatGPT to order the list from most positive to most negative. So my brain is tripping over the fact that AMBIGUITY is #38 on a list of about 100, instead of closer to #50.
