I don't see the point in the whole charade of "use words, colors and body parts to describe what you feel" - okay, I'm aware of what I feel, and I've assigned some arbitrary positions on my body to my feelings.

Now what? Do that every day? It feels patronizing and seems like just a way to distract myself. Might as well spend my time playing Factorio, it'll distract me as much.

I hope there is some crucial factor that I don't understand yet, and that someone will explain it to me in a reply. Otherwise, seeing the overwhelmingly positive reaction to such bullsh-t makes me feel like this whole place is fake.

Due to the negative tone of the above comment, I feel I should point out that it is a criticism of (or attempt to understand better) the concept, not the website itself. The website was very smooth and easy to work through, the author must have put a lot of effort into making it. Kudos, and if it helps people, that's a good thing regardless of my opinion and understanding (or lack thereof).
