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.

Replying to @jimperio
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.
