I’m a stereotypical male: I don’t like to talk about feelings. Actually, that’s not entirely true. When designing apps and services, I often think about how others are feeling and what actions they will take because of their feelings. I’m just averse to talking about my own feelings. I get all self-conscious and feel like I’m shrinking into the wall when the spotlight is shone on me.
are you talking about feelings as a colloquial term for emotions, or for "somatic states" (actual visceral responses in the body to external environments and internal thoughts/emotions?) that's the other confusion at play here--it's unclear which people are referencing. it's also unclear whether happiness is a somatic state or what, depending on the individual!
Ok well, I can only tell you that I feel dizzy in my attempt to follow you and Christin as you both work this one out with an intellectual capacity I myself do not possess. Until then, I'll take a good story (like lunch buddy) any day over a philosophical debate. And that's how I feel. : )
