Emotions

Post Reply New Topic

Would you want to have less or more emotions then what you portray or show?
For me... I'd rather have none. The ones I have are way too responsive.

I'm too responsive to everything as well. Sometimes not much, but it's still there. I would rather live without emotions, because I would feel more at peace.

I wish I could feel more positive emotions and less negative emotions. Anger, depression, anxiety, fear, jealousy and irritation are what get a hold of me, and they overweigh good emotions so it makes me appear as a very miserable, unsatisfied person.

Lately I can't stop frowning, literally. I am walking around with this big frown on my face, and I can't seem to get rid of it. When I try to put on a happier face, it doesn't feel natural, and the negative emotions inside me won't let me. I am going through a lot of stress at the moment though; everyone around me are doing better than me, I am at the risk of losing job-seekers benefits because I've been on it too long, I'm waiting to hear back from so many jobs I have applied for and job searching is stressful for me anyway, my best friend is ill, my grandmother is ill, and lots of other little things. Plus my AS doesn't help because I have all these big stressful worries that most people worry about PLUS little things that only I worry about what others just take for granted, like conforming.

I just wish I was the type of person who doesn't get so worried about anything and can just deal with problems in my own way. This is why I am going to go on anti-depressants.

I wish I felt less fear. Fear isn't going to get me anywhere in life and confidence certainly would. Other than that, I think my feelings of sadness, happiness, anger, guilt and other feelings are perfectly balanced. If I had no emotions, then I would be very angry... Oh wait. Anger's an emotion. Well, you get the idea.

I'll take less anxiety. As for showing emotions, I do all I can to suppress that most of the times, especially the negative ones. However, it never seems to work as those who know me can usually tell when something is bothering me because I become really quiet and introverted. Normally, I am known for being talkative and distractable at work, and that is where the majority of my interactions with other people take place.

I'm not sure I understand the question, Fixations. Do you mean feel less or more emotions, or do you mean showing either more or less emotions to the outside world?

If it's the former, I think I'm fairly okay with the emotions I'm feeling now, but if it's the latter, I wish I would be better at conveying more emotions to the outside world. No matter which emotions they are. Happiness, frustration, gratitude, guilt, sadness...

Definitely less. I'm on an emotional roller coaster a lot of times and my emotions get out of control saying things that I later regret.

Compared with other people I know I seem to have a rationalising "filter" between my conscience and my emotions; my friend sometimes jokes that I seem to be at least part Vulcan.
I do have strong emotions but it seems I recognise them more than feel them. The discrepancy between how I experience emotions and how the people around me do grows with increasing non-functionality of the particular emotion. I am happy, sad or - very, very rarely - angry but I hardly ever panic when I'm faced with a sudden problem, I don't break down and cry if I know that doesn't help me solve whatever difficulties I am facing; instead, the more extreme the situation becomes the more I tend to behave rationally.
I treasure my rationality even though that is what usually causes arguments between me and my friends. Just for the sake of it, though, I would like to know what an emotion feels like if it is just felt unconditionally.
But sometimes I have what I'd call very sudden melancholy attacks. I see something and suddenly feel like crying although whatever I'm looking at is nothing that would be emotionally touching to me. I haven't yet found a common denominator.
And sometimes I just feel overrun by life itself, but that is more a mood and less an emotion.

I actually often show more emotion than I feel - at least in social interactions with most people. It just belongs to the roles... It's a part of the script I select my behaviour from. My few very good friends are an exception because I know they understand me the way I really am.

I'm just happy. Apparently it's annoying. ROFL! All my life, I've heard "Nobody's that happy!" or "Why do you have to be so blankety-blank HAPPY all the time?!?!". I like being happy! So sue me! ROFL!!

ROFLMAO
