Is there such a thing as a “default” human emotion, and if so do we all have the same one, or is it based on the individual?
In: Biology
I worked with infants for many years and our emotions seem to be closely intertwined with our personalities. Each infant has a distinct disposition and personality. I would say it is a human’s goal to feel independent and happy, but that is not the default. Our emotions are highly based on chemicals our brain makes too. Sometimes, due to genetics or past trauma, the chemicals our brain makes won’t be in the right proportions, or some may seem to be missing. This gives us mental illnesses, which give different “default” emotions for each person.
