Ekman's 6 Basic Emotions

Paul Ekman's six basic emotions are universal feelings that everyone experiences, regardless of culture. They are: 1. **Happiness** - Joy and satisfaction, often shown through smiles. 2. **Sadness** - A feeling of loss or disappointment, indicated by frowns or tears. 3. **Fear** - The response to danger, characterized by wide eyes and quickened heartbeats. 4. **Anger** - A reaction to frustration or perceived injustice, often expressed with a frown and clenched fists. 5. **Surprise** - A reaction to unexpected events, seen through raised eyebrows and an open mouth. 6. **Disgust** - A feeling of revulsion or distaste, often reflected in wrinkled noses. These emotions help us communicate and connect with others.
