Seeing the wheel of feelings / emotions reminded me, again, that there are people who don't experience most of those. Even if they do, they have a difficulties in describing what do they feel or if they feel anything at all. It's impossible for them to name the feelings but few most general cases - happy, sad, crying, angry. There is a disorder called alexithymia that may be the reason for that. I suppose, for those people (which is around 10% of population, quoting Wikipedia[1]) the concept of mindfulness is alien and above page is beyond comprehension.

If you were to ask me when I was a teenager, I'd probably agree with that description. But at least in my case, I just had god-awful awareness of my own emotions. So I thought I was like spock and that they didn't exist, while in reality I was happy and mad and frustrated and envious and all sorts of things most days. For some reason it didn't really click for me that what I felt was feelings.
