We are emotional illiterates. We have limited vocabularies to describe the subtleties and nuances of our moods, feelings and emotions. As a consequence, we find it hard to explain our feelings or to understand the feelings of others.
We can start building our emotional literacy by defining the differences between affect, feelings and emotions. We can then work to develop "emotional granularity," the exercise of defining our emotions with increasingly specific words and labels.
