Overview of the contents of the review. We discuss social feelings in the context of 5 major sub-categories: Affiliation, Parent-Child Attachment, Moral Sentiments, Interpersonal Stressors, and Emotional Communication. Throughout, we consider the known neurobiology related to social feelings and highlight where research is needed. Additionally, we review the language people use to express social feelings, and included a meta-analysis using Neurosynth software. This review is timely, considering the growth in social media and recent world-wide interest in the psychology of social interaction and social distancing, with their effects on overall well-being.
