Standard Human Emotions, According to Liam, Age 7
According to Liam, age 7, the standard human emotions are as follows (presented in order of either frequency or importance):
While "Whatever" and "Loud" aren't usually on lists of emotions, given that he's being raised in Mid-western America, #4 seems pretty obvious; given that Liam is autistic, #5 suddenly makes quite a bit of sense (having me around the house probably doesn't help any).
In celebration of this new definitive emotions list, I'd like to recommend this song. It neatly expresses both #4 and #5, in a way that will make you feel either #1, #2 or #3, depending on your personal background and experiences. Enjoy!
- Happy
- Angry
- Sad
- Whatever
- Loud
