What is Anticipation?
{{Emotion}}'''Anticipation''' is an [[emotion]] usually someone waiting for something. This can cause pleasure or [[anxiety]] depending on what the person is thinking of. Anticipation can be seen as an act of [[sexual]] desire.<ref>Barry and Emily McCarthy, ''Rekindling Desire'' (2003) p. 89</ref> Anticipation can be shown in many ways; for example, some people seem to smile uncontrollably during this period, while others look or feel sick. It is not uncommon for the brain to be so focused on an event, that the body is affected in such a way.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.roadreadycases.com/resources/stage-fright.html|title=Understanding Stage Fright|website=www.roadreadycases.com|access-date=2 March 2018|archive-date=5 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180305071057/http://www.roadreadycases.com/resources/stage-fright.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} {{stub}} [[Category:Emotions]]
