Name that emotion: Annoyance
Do you know what my primary emotion is about the state of the world, especially obvious political issues?
Annoyance.
Not grief, not fear, not anger. Not sadness.
I am just...annoyed. Not even really confused. Just annoyed.
Of course I certainly get afraid or angry sometime, but I just realized today that my primary emotion is annoyance.
I realized that after I read a repost on Instagram about how people were covering their grief because of society's denial of the pains of the subjugated, or something, and I looked at it and thought about it, and realized that I honestly don't feel grief. I honestly feel annoyed. Irritated. Frustrated. Kind of a natural reaction when you see people sticking a fork into a socket over and over again and then saying "Well, actually".
So that is my main emotion.
And writing this out has helped me realize that.
