Of course thoughts are partly intellectual and partly emotional
I think if you are unaware of this it could make emotions rather confusing and hard to understand. If you are into a binary mode of "Thoughts are either emotional or intellectual but I'm not sure which" then you are really limiting yourself and confusing yourself IMO.
Definitely all thoughts contain denotation and connotation. If anything is connotatively neutral for a minute we very quickly add a connotation to it subjectively at least in our own minds... and we are also analytical beings so there's totally denotation already of course
Intellectual AND emotional. That's what thinking is. To discredit one or the other would confuse the mind... and probably cause cognitive dissonance
And yes, I'm speaking from experience.
