Negative Effects of Emotion


There were multiple concepts that I liked reading about during this weeks chapter reading though my most favorite and I would like to share is “Negative Effects of Emotion.” We are all humans and use our emotions to make many decisions in life. Sometimes there are emotions based on negative stereotypes or distress coming from past issues that have not been concluded. This type of decision making blocks our critical thought process pushing us usually to the wrong decision or pushes us to feel that there is no problem at all when there really is. For example the most general negative effect of emotions is about relationships. Someone in a past relationship may have, or have been cheated on. That person is now always going to remember and make decisions to not let the new special someone “in” so they do not get hurt again. The new special somebody is negatively affected by the person’s emotions of past relationships.

  1. Yea I agree with you, negative effects of emotions is used a lot in critical thinking. Emotions take over the body and make people engage in bad decisions or mislead them into thinking some false. Relationships are probably the most common scenario consisting negative effects of emotion because couples think too much of their past relationships. A lot the times the boy or girl who was cheated on will feel insecure with their new significant other because of their last relationship. It happens because they are still hurt and feel like everyone else is the same as their ex-boyfriend/girlfriend. People should just not care and give zero feelings towards it. They should just go to Lake Havasu and swat up.
