Emotions are neither right nor wrong, but they can be informative
If being around someone always makes you feel good, that's something to pay attention to. If doing a certain thing makes you tighten up, that tells you something else.

a senior golden retriever sits in the grass in front of a gray stone wall and faces the camera head-on. he has at least four tennis balls in his mouth – two stacked vertically under his nose, and one pressing up his cheek flaps on either side. the balls are faded shades of orange and green, now weathered and well-loved, like the sugary white of the dog’s face.
