md`# *I feel...*
This is an adapation of [Mike Bostock's adapation](https://observablehq.com/@mbostock/emotion-wheel) of [Geoffrey Roberts’s *Emotion Wheel*](https://imgur.com/a/CkxQC) using D3’s [partition layout](https://github.com/d3/d3-hierarchy/blob/master/README.md#partition). Robert’s 2015 work appears to be based on a vocabulary wheel by [Kaitlin Robbs](https://lifehacker.com/find-the-perfect-word-for-your-feelings-with-this-vocab-1653013241) from 2014, which in turn appears to be based on [*The Feeling Wheel*](http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/036215378201200411) published by Gloria Willcox in 1982.
Rationale for the revision: Geoffrey Roberts's original *Emotion Wheel* contained a number of words that were not, in fact, feelings.
This wheel is an attempt to rectify this.
For example, when a person says "I feel disrespected" -- which was on Roberts's original wheel -- they are not actually speaking about a feeling -- they are having a story that someone else is disrespecting them -- but their actual feeling could be, nearly anything. For example, some people could feel delight at being disrespected, others could feel angry, others could feel sad, others could feel a steely determination.
So, this *Feelings Wheel* attempts to correct the errors from the original *Emotion Wheel* and create a world in which we share feelings that are actually much closer to real feelings.
Feel free to use and adapt with credit.
