Hello...welcome to one of my latest trends I hope you feel comfy here :coffee: I find it quite easy to control most emotions....im just currently really *curious* about which emotions you find the hardest control... Hahaha i wouldnt say im a negative person but sometimes i can be really negative towards myself so i guess the emotion i find the hardest to control is self-pity.... <-- *should i be laughing* xx
The first emotion that jumped into my mind here was anger, because I have SERIOUS problems with controlling my anger...I fly off the handle at the slightest thing. But I voted 'other', because at the moment the emotion I find hardest control is fear. Fear that my entire life may be a dream, fear that the people I know and love don't exist outside of this dream, and the rest of it. Then again, maybe I'm just mental. That doesn't change the fact that fear is the emotion I currently find the hardest to control though.
Awwww i wish i choose to put love or like..i really struggle at times to show people that i really like / love them...it usually takes ages... @ Stinkfoot; i liked your approach to the question... and @ 60s-70s-80s; i find ur answer very interesting....it made me strangly re-live the worries i used to think about over and over again...hmmm
trust... its a hard way for me to trust someone. i used to sell a lot of drugs... and i didn't trust anyone for a long time. it became a habit. lack of trust was a survival instinct. robbed, beatend, stabbed, used for drugs, ripped off, i learned to not trust anyone. old habits die hard
Anger, I've got the walls to prove it. I work out so it relives some of the tension. But I still have my moments. But you've got to be really selfish, or dumb to piss me off.
I'd have to say Love, probably because it seems all the rest of the emotions from the poll options and then some all line up to kick your ass. :cheers2:
Life experience.... My anger issues are by and large the result of my having not grown up. I used numerous cop-outs as excuses but when shit got real by necessity I had to confront the FACT that when push came to shove I could reign in my reactionary facet so what was missing was practice... and learning tricks to not internalize trivial shit that can otherwise piss me off. It's not easy to process some things without an emotional overlay but it doesn't make it any less necessary because whether I like it or not anger is a decision I make.
Lust. Sometimes I feel like i trick myself into thinking I NEED something when I really just WANT it. I'm not always able to control my desires. It's terrible to feel like you NEED something. WANT can not hold a candle to the miracle of NEED.
I went with anger as well, I dont really have to much of an issue controling my emotions though. But on the very rare occasion that I do get mad I tend to get very mad and it is best to stay out of my way. But I do not get mad over trivial things either. My other emotions I,ve managed to numb pretty well through years of drug and alcohol use and abuse.
None of the above really. But when i was a young teen i had an issue controlling lust got over that though
I chose ANGER, but I wish there had been an option for LUST. That, I have a harder time with controlling, than anger.
I want to say anger, but I don't trust my judgement. Actually, fuck it, i'm not angry- either that or nobody notices me I just found a banana :biggrin:
Im never angry at thing I do myself. Anger comes from other sources .... Once you find and locate them sources you can:dissolve them, eradicate them, kill them, lock them up, no long communicate with them.. you will find once you remove these elements; you will no longer have them trolling you into their madness and becoming angry yourself..
i find anger most difficult. i use anger to cope with everything! if i'm angry at one little thing, i get angry at everything. i feel extremely guilty for it, especially because most of the time there is absolutely no reason for it. i'm not necessarily a violent angry person, but it's more quiet and pent-up rage. it's almost like i have this huge ocean of anger deep inside that never really goes away. it goes hand-in-hand with sadness. if i'm depressed about something, i express it with rage.
I was one of the "OTHER" choosers... For me, (especially right now)... hardest to control is deep hurt. But it's always been that...deep, and/or raw emotional pain is the hardest to inwardly and outwardly deny.
