What emotion do you like to feel most? Please don't post general stuff like happiness, but try to describe a more specific feeling.

My favourite emotion is hard to describe, and unfortunately there aren't many occasions that will make you feel it. What I'm talking about is some kind of awe.. the feeling that life is big and great.. and that it holds many mysteries.

I like to feel proud of my daughters

Not too certain, and I don't think I've felt it too many times in my life. I think I have recently, though, and the closest thing I could describe it as is being safe. I suppose, more specifically, feeling safe because I could trust another person to be there for me, or not to judge me, or whatever else. I guess that still is a bit vague, but it's the best I could come up with.

That feeling one gets when riding an incoming tide of serotonin, giddy euphoric ecstasy.

I really like the excitement that you get when you know you're about to learn something new, or experience something you haven't experienced before. I also enjoy greatly the feeling of serenity and vastness I get when sitting on the beach, watching the waves and feeling a warm breeze clear my thoughts and feelings.
But most of all I enjoy that warm fulfilling feeling I get when I make someone I care about happy or the feeling of "right" that I get when someone special hugs me.

Its an interesting question & I had to think about it, but did find one that for me was far beyond the others.

Its the feeling/emotion you get when you first fall in love and the other loves you. If the relationship lasts a long time, you can sometimes have moments that approach the feeling again, but it can't trully replicate the newness and sense of awe that it is actually happening that happens in the beginning.

Empathy, combined with alot of euphoria and hyper-awareness.

Ambition... It's a feeling that's quite new to me.

Kinda like coffee to the tired... kicks me into full force from a dead stop depression when I embrace it firmly >_>

It strangely brings me happiness once I feel the pride of progress or accomplishment... so it is quite a good emotion for being the source of other great feelings that are... also new to me :|

The emotion connected to being fully absorbed by something that gradually progresses into something that enriches your sense of being. A pleasurable flow of warmth and wellbeing, ++++++. :)

A kind of totally relaxed and chilled out detachment, where I'm just in the moment and happy to be there, at peace with myself and everything around me. Unfortunately it's been quite a while since I felt like that but I get flashes of it now and then.

I would say love but I've never been in love, so I would have to say success. By that I mean VICTORY IS MINE!! !

I also feel the fun and simple emotion of happiness, because I'm happy to be alive. I'm also too much of drum head to think about more complex emotions. :)
