Naming vs. Knowing Emotions

Post Reply New Topic

I originally asked this question in the "Reading faces test" thread, but I'm not sure my question fit there so I'm making it into its own thread:

Does anybody else ever wonder why nobody talks about the difference between the ability to identify/recognize/understand emotions and the ability to name (and otherwise talk about) them?

Is it because for most people there is no difference? Is it because for most people they are equally difficult or equally easy? For me there is a difference, and I have less trouble with identifying/recognizing/understanding emotions than I do with naming and talking about them.

(To be clear, I'm thinking mostly about a person's own emotions, but this applies to other people's emotions as well; Identifying/recongizing other people's emotions is much more difficult, and figuring out the "why" of other people's emotions can be extremely difficult, but the same difference in identification/recognition/understanding vs. naming/talking-about applies.)

Same for me, naming is much harder than knowing, which is why I can't think or talk about emotions in typical ways.

I am more non-verbally oriented in all aspects of brain function, I think.
