I think people just got used to a very cognitive model of emotion and stopped noticing that these things were literally true? "People" here might mostly just mean "me" though.

It's funny how "metaphors" for emotions are actually just the normal physical signs of that emotional response. Rage really is hot. You really do get cold feet when you're experiencing a strong stress response to doing something. Your heart is where you experience many emotions.

Based off heat maps of crotch, love turns us on, contempt turns us off, but shame doesn't affect horniness. Sounds about right

This reminded me of a sensation I experience in especially stressful conflict situations: the room seems to expand, I seem smaller and part of the scene rather than its protagonist Almost like my awareness diffusing, and my body/head shrinking, tightening up into a ball

Yeah I have a *really* strong "want to curl up into a ball and hide" response to some things, which sounds similar. It's more of an overwhelm than a conflict response for me but it's very distinctively felt.

Seems to me this can be pretty affected by socialization. The Greeks seemed to feel more things in their guts (which we have some metaphors for as well).

hmmmm... gut-feeling = gut-brain connection = correlated w depression+anxiety?
