I can kind of identify with this and I think there’s just a broad range of sensitivity when it comes to emotion. Some people have these “feelings” way more than others. There have been times when people have reacted incredibly strongly to certain things (crying, etc) when I have had basically no reaction whatsoever.
However, I can personally identify emotional constructs through many particular examples of experiences. If you’re a younger individual, I suspect it takes a longer time to build up these examples.
Agreed. Also I don’t think the ability to control emotions is linked to their strength necessarily. Strength of emotions seems to be a innate facet of someone’s personality, whereas control is improved by practice.

I think strength of emotional reactions and ability to distinguish between them are independent variables.
