Sadness
sometimes, all you can do is hold back your tears to let the world know you are fine when you are actually not in the inside.
Sadness, one of the seven universal emotions everyone has experienced it in their personal lives.
Considered as part of the negative emotions for people who are seeking for help and comfort.
Sadness has its own emotional stages, starting from disappointment, to despair, and lastly, anguish (Ekman, 2020). What makes us sad? well, there a lot of things that makes us sad, may be from our past lives experience, or a memory that makes you very sad and you don't want to remember it but it still comes to you, and many more, depending on our own 'personal definition' towards the emotion of sadness.
Come to think of it, what is the purpose for us to feel sad?
Sadness has been with each and every one of us since the beginning of our time (Creating Change & Creating Change, 2018). It's how our body tells us an experience that has hurted or upset us (Creating Change & Creating Change, 2018).
But sadness isn't always the feeling of being sad, there is also a term of sadness called 'Happy Sadness', this term of sadness could make you cry into tears of joy, maybe remembering the happiest times of our lives.
