  • Guilt helps you to maintain your relationships.
  • Showing the pride you have in achievements can help you socially.
  • Lonely people look for sources of acceptance in facial expressions.
  • Hope can affect expectation and how you feel.
  • Many people cry at a happy ending as a way to hold back the emotion of sadness
  • Venting anger doesn't help you.
  • Spiders may be more disgusting than frightening.
