How to use "Emotional" in context?
As humans, we are constantly interacting and exchanging thoughts with other people. It's impossible to avoid feeling emotions in the process. When we feel happy, sad, or angry, those emotions are often felt in our bodies as well. Our muscles might tensed up or our heart might be racing.
Most of the time, emotions are helpful guides. They tell us what we should do and how we should feel. For example, when we feel scared, our emotions might tell us to run away.
But sometimes emotions can be a hindrance. They can get in the way of our ability to think clearly or make rational decisions.
