Q: Imagine watching someone experiencing this emotion.  Does he clutch his stomach or hide his face?  Does he try to grab your shoulders and tell you what's happened?  In narrative, the most intimate way to communicate a feeling is by describing the state of the body.  Imagine yourself feeling this emotion.  How does your stomach feel?  When a person experiences a strong emotion, the amount of saliva in his mouth changes, his heart rate changes, and chemicals are released in his chest, stomach, and loins. However, be careful not to overstep your boundaries as to what the character is aware of. For example, "Her face turned bright red in embarrassment," isn't something the character would know. However, "Her face burned as they laughed and turned away," works wonders. Using actual conversation can put the reader much deeper and more involved into the story than, say, "She frowned at how aloof he seemed." Using dialogue is actually in the moment as opposed to taking a second to step outside and narrate the story. It keeps the flow going and is true to the character – if your dialogue is right.  Next time you're tempted to write something like, "He smiled at how she looked at him." Instead, go for, "I like the way you look at me." It has investment. It feels personal, genuine, and real.  You can also use thoughts. Characters can talk to themselves, too! "I like the way she looks at me," has a similar power, even though it goes unspoken. Often, we're not entirely aware of how we're feeling or what we're doing. We nod and smile while our eyes are burning with rage or we inhale a sharp intake of breath. Instead of addressing these layers outright, imply them. Have your character nod and agree politely while she's shredding a napkin to pieces. Your story will keep the layers intact. This can help with conflict and tension especially. It can also help with subtler forms of conflict, like characters who are uncomfortable with emotion, unwilling to open up, or waiting for an opportunity to express themselves. When we're feeling particularly emotional, sometimes certain senses become extra-sensitive. We're more likely to lounge in the scent of a lover, more likely to hear every creak when we're home alone. You can use these elements to convey emotion without even needing to touch on it. Saying, "Someone was following her so she quickened her pace," gets the point across, but it's not engaging. Instead, talk about how she could smell his cologne, how he stank of cold beer and desperation, and how the jangle of his keys quickened with every step. Contrary to what its title may suggest, this has nothing to do with being pathetic. This is the term for when the environment reflects the prevalent emotions of a scene.  For example, when the tension is building between rivals, a window breaks (this should have a cause unless one of these people is telekinetic).  A student is relaxing after acing a dreaded examination and a breeze rustles the grass.  It's a little cheesy, but fun, and it's effective if you're not heavy-handed or trite.  Employ this writing maneuver very carefully and selectively. If you do it all the time, it loses its efficacy. It can also be a little unbelievable. Try using this literary technique without even touching on emotion – perhaps even before introducing individuals. This can set a scene and offer a parallel to the reader that they can put together once they've delved a bit into the story, adding an extra layer of intricacy and complexity. Try this: think about an emotion. Think about it long and hard. Think about the circumstances of last time you felt it. Now, start talking about the emotion. What it felt like, what the world seemed like. Once you're deep into this exercise, note your body. What are your hands doing? Your feet? Your eyebrows? How is this emotion made clear in terms of your body language?  When's the last time you walked into a room and could read the person you saw within seconds upon entering? Probably not that long ago; in fact, probably a number of examples have cropped up in your head. Emotions don't need to be spelled out or even thought – our bodies do it for us. Spend the next few days noticing your friends' and family's micro expressions. Those little fleeting giveaways that you would never notice if you weren't really, really paying attention. It's those moments that can bring your narration to life.
A: Say it with a physical response. Use dialogue between characters. Use subtext. Talk about the character's senses. Try the pathetic fallacy. Talk in terms of body language.

Article: When you start seeing someone, be patient and let the relationship develop naturally. Don’t get serious too quickly or write someone off prematurely. It takes time to know whether you’re compatible with someone. If a romantic interest displays red-flag behaviors, there’s probably no reason to get to know them further. However, if you’re not sure whether you like someone or not, going on another date or two can help you figure out how you feel. If you have a bad feeling about a developing relationship, it’s a good idea to slow things down or break the relationship off entirely. People’s flaws tend to become more pronounced as you spend more time with them. If you’re noticing red flags or deal-breakers in the person you’re seeing, these issues are likely to get worse, not better. If you’re concerned about certain aspects of a developing relationship, talk to the other person. You may be able to come to a compromise. You may also save yourself some time by figuring out that the relationship isn’t going anywhere. If you seek out a relationship just for the sake of not being single anymore, you might end up unhappy with the partner you picked. Take your time and think about your future happiness, not just the way you feel right now. Consider that you might be happier single than you would with a poorly-matched partner. You can ensure you find the right match by being open and straightforward about your needs in the relationship. Communicating your values, goals, and future priorities early on can help you figure out if your partner is right for you. Also, be willing to listen to and acknowledge your partner's needs.  For example, if finishing your graduate degree is important, you will need to convey this to your partner. Relationships require compromise, so you shouldn't express these as if they are a list of ultimatums. However, your partner should be willing to have a discussion with you so that you can reach goals and priorities that align with both your needs. If you're in a good relationship, it probably feels good. But there are some key aspects that will indicate you're headed in the right direction. Healthy relationships share some common elements, such as:  You and your partner share common values and goals You have realistic expectations You both contribute to the relationship and are invested in its success You trust one another You respect one another's differences You both maintain your own identities in the relationship You encourage and support one another's growth You feel safe communicating your needs You honor one another's friendships and family ties You spend quality time together often
