it's object permanence, but for emotions.
the most common example is of people who have attachment issues or disorders that have attachment-issue-like symptoms (e.g. BPD), where people feel like their friends or partner do not love them unless they are showed affection and are reassured constantly.
it could literally be anything else too, like not thinking your soul-bound enemy hates you during times they don't show you hate

Person 1: I feel like my best friend doesn't like me unless they talk with me and reassure me they're my best friend.
Person 2: They do like you, and consider you a best friend as well..You just have emotional object permanence because momma didn't give you much love as a child.

The secretions that are created by sexual stimulation and amorous emotions. These secretions facilitate lubrication for lust and love to coexist in what some may call a center of carnality which compels parties to the state of bliss.
Khloe was telling Lindsay all about her good time last night and Lindsay was overwhelmed with all of the details. Lindsay was very nervous to ask specifics but did offer suggestions on how to remove the emotional lotion stains that were on the sofa. Khloe laughed and stated, "They are stayin'! Those show that I got mine!" Lindsay dryly replied, "Well, I'm not sittin' on that thing again."

The act of watching heart wrenching documentaries or reading about celebs having miscarriages to indulge in such feelings for self gratifying reasons while having the safety net of knowing it’s happening to them and not you.
Oh i see your watching that show ‘ miscarriage- my story’ , pure emotional masterbation, a horrible thing to do.

Someone who collects compromising anecdotes and personal Achilles' heel tales from friends and acquaintances for boosting his or her own morale and for possible weaponizing at some critical later date.
Don't kid yourself about Carol being a good listener. She's an emotional hoarder, and anything you told her while you were inebriated at that party will eventually come back to haunt you.

Just as color perception (and in turn blindness) exists on a spectrum, so too does the ability to experience emotions.
Most people who experience color deficiency, do not have issues with all color (red and green are most common). Color blindness can also come with heightened awareness in other areas...like better than average night vision or a keener sense of smell.
These details parallel well when describing people with emotional deficiencies, in that:
(1.) Someone on the spectrum for narcissistic traits, often still keenly feels rage, envy, hatred and fear.
(2.) Narcissists experience the above emotions more often and at greater intensity than the average person, BECAUSE they lack the ability to feel other emotions (like empathy) which might otherwise (ironically) diminish and balance those feelings out.
(3.) Even a full blown psychopath with no neurotypical fear response, (I.E. only feels an adrenaline rush) is not 100% emotionally colorblind. They still experience pleasure in a limited, ego driven sort of way. If this were not the case, they would have no motivation to do anything, (including anything bad.)
(4.) Total lack of emotional feeling and complete colorblindness, are both incredibly rare, and can signal something more serious...like a brain injury or a neurological condition.

I've never heard someone say they wish they were colorblind, but I've heard a ton of people say they wish they lacked certain feelings, because they think it would solve all their problems. This is kind of like thinking you could avoid getting stuck in traffic if you no longer saw the red in a red light. Emotion is not the heart of the problem.
Emotional color blindness might very well take away things like: codependence, trauma responses and making personal sacrifices for conscientious decisions...but it would also diminish your capacity for joy and your ability to have meaningful relationships with anybody.
Better to sort out the kinks, then throw the whole baby out with the bathwater.
