3. Significant Life Events: Major transitions (e.g., loss, moving, or career changes) often involve a range of feelings that overlap.

4. Societal or Cultural Expectations: Feeling pressure to respond a certain way (e.g., "I should feel happy, but I don’t") can add confusion.

5. Suppressed Emotions: Avoiding certain feelings can lead to a buildup of emotions that emerge in a tangled way.
