Mood and Emotion

Every people does have mood and emotion. We experience many types of mood and emotion at different time and place, happy mood(good mood), sad mood(bad mood) and many more. In fact, there are disparities between mood and emotion. Mood is a relatively long lasting, affective or emotional state. Moods differ from simple emotion in that they are less specific, less intense, and less likely to be triggered by a particular stimulus or event.

They make a great difference in communication. No. Communicating influences human's mood and emotion. Actually, it is the concept of chicken-and-egg nature. Our mood and emotion can sway how we communicate with others. To illustrate, when you feel very down, you will not feel like talking to others. In this way, people may mistaken that you are hard to be approached. Another example is when you feel very angry and someone comes to tease you, you might become more angry and probably quarrel with the person. This will ruin your communication and relationship with that person.

Similarly, our mood and emotion can be influenced while we communicate with others. For instance, we are happy for a short moment when someone tells us a humorous joke. The feeling for short moment is our emotion. When more and more incidents make you happy and your happy emotion last for a long time, it becomes good mood.

In a nutshell, we should manage our emotion and mood well so that we will not spoil our communication with other people which will consequently influence our relationship with others.
