I disagree with that. There is a certain socialization (and mimicry) involved. However, if you were to strip out the socialization as well as strip out the pattern of physical sensations that arises, there will still be something, which is the emotion. I am not speaking metaphorically. I'm talking about using your own consciousness as the laboratory and your awareness as the instrument to examine and experience this directly. It is possible to concentrate on an emotion as it is being experienced, and mentally distinguish between what is the socialization and what is not. The same with distinguishing what are patterns of physical sensations related to the emotion.
