feelings can lie. I have been faced with grave physical danger and because of growing up in a violent home, I underestimated the danger...because I had a feeling of numbness or detachment or indifference. Conversely, I have been super-anxious about something that, in retrospect, was trivial...because I sufffer from some level of anticipatory anxiety....my feelings of being amped are way out of proportion to the situation at hand.

Maybe this is not particularly helpful or salient but that's my two cents.
