The Emotion You Find The Hardest To Control

Sadness AND anger when children or animals are mistreated. I have infinate patience with people,but none with inanimate objects. If I drop something and don't pick it up on the first try,I'll stomp the shit out of it and feel better. I stepped on both my son's sunglasses on the roof one day--so I stomped mine to even it out. Inanimate objects better not fool with me-I'll ruin 'em. Yup--I'm goofy.

 

I have most trouble controlling "angry sadness" or, more clinically stated "agitated depression." I have a psychotic variety of Bipolar I Disorder and for me, controlling depression coupled with extreme anger and irritation is very difficult, even with psychiatric medication, which helps immensely. This unregulated emotion has cost me about everything in my life. I have extreme trouble holding a job for more than a month or so. I take everything told to me as reason to get violently angry and suicidally depressed. It's horrible.

 

I'm sorry to hear that. Are you on the right meds? Counciling? Maybe yoga or something to try and attain some calmness?

 

Trust probably.

 

Happiness...I am freakin' happy all-the-time. Even when it is inappropriate to be happy.

 

a tie...trust and anger

I do not trust most, and have a bit of a temper

 

It's got to be happiness. How can you control happiness? Making yourself less happy on purpose is an enormous task. I would even go so far to say that it's impossible.

 

Weird. I can make myself miserable on-spot by doing any number of simple things.

 

guilt, boredom, happiness, and i need to get a grip on my willpower..

 

mine would have to be anger, followed by anxiety/ nerves.

 

But doing that must give you some amount of happiness otherwise you wouldn't do it.

 

Humiliation/embarassment

 

I selected Other: Pride/Vanity

 

McFuddy, I'm with you on pride...I can't control my pride or my stubbornness...but my temper flares up and the anger is like a volcano...I can't control what I say (and its always true...I always tell people not to pick fights with me because I will say things I MEAN).

 

Anger. :devil:

 

Yeah, fuck trust. I don't have any trouble controlling it tho. Is it even considered an emotion? I can decide to trust people if I want, usually its not smart. I voted anger, cause I play video games. Like test drive unlimited 2, my saved game was lost twice now, and I feel like performing a murder. I can hold in my anger, but I will always feel it when annoying shit goes wrong.

 

Maybe jealousy

 

It has to be Lust, I honestly believe I'm addicted to sex, I'm 23 and I can't remember a time in my life that I didn't look and lust at most of the girls that I have ever known or seen, sex is always on my mind.

 

Hardest to control…Laugh out loud humor!

I’m not one of those silly laugh at everything people, but if something is straight up funny that is going to make me laugh out loud, I can’t not do it.

I’ve become very adept at hiding and controlling all of my other emotions; maybe because of my job, maybe as a parent of teenagers, maybe from many years of coaching youth sports.

When I hear or see funny shit, I’m gonna laugh.
