Is there any reason to not keep to the basic emotions?

One step further is taking a look at a relationship needs list. Unmet needs can certainly lead to an emotional response.
For instance if I feel unheard or an attempt isn't made to understand me in my personal or even professional relationships, I feel a wide range of frustrated/angry emotions. How I handle that is to at least acknowledge that when this happens, I feel those emotions and address those from there.
Maybe that's a list to consider? Relationship Needs.
Thanks for this!
