Jealousy is a terrible emotion for people to have !!!

Embarrassment.

Shame.

Yes, shame, but I'm getting over that.
Envy is something I have sometimes but shouldn't. I have everything I need.

I realized several years ago that being angry only affects myself. Now, I only actually get angry once a year.

The emotion that is most challenging for me to control is compassion....internally, I see veterans on TV, or hear of an selfless act, or a random kindness, and I well up with tears instantly. Even at work, I used to see or hear something that instantly hugged my heart. I would laugh and say, "I hate this! I hate to cry."

Hate. It just takes so MUCH energy to sustain.

That's why i refuse to waste energy on it. Doesn't mean i can't set boundaries and limit interactions with those who've 'wronged' me personally but once i've decided to put someone at arms length i don't spend much time thinking about them at all unless they get pushy with me. And while i can dislike and disapprove of public figures i don't waste any time 'hating' them either or anyone for any 'superficial' reason (race, religion, gender ID, Sexuality).

Not sure why, but the only time it has bothered me to cry is when my allergies are acting up---because then i can't have a cathartic 'good' cry. i move into coughing fits quickly if it isn't the kind of quiet 'weeping' that just means tears rolling down face, no sobs.

Despair. I hate to feel it myself or see it in others. It makes me want to hug myself and everyone in the world feeling this way. The times we are living through are so extraordinarily challenging.

 

[Ruthanne]

Lately, crying because I can't seem to . It may be because of antidepressants and mood stabilizer.

I agree, fortunately as I age I feel less and less of it. Almost none now.

My first husband was terribly jealous person and it always bothered him that i wasn't.

So was my ex husband
With added control and was possessive
That’s why he’s my ex !!!

Spock has been a hero for a long time. The abilty to suppress emotions is a most useful skill.

 

[Alligatorob]

On a regular schedule? Do you issue warnings?

 

[AnnieA]

Same.

 

[IrisSenior]

Crying in front of anyone.

 

[Pepper]

Panic attacks. I guess that's related to anxiety?

 

[C50]

Emotion I hate dealing with in other people is hysteria.

My own emotion I have to keep in check is indifference.

 

[NorthernLight]

I'm not jealous. I hate jealousy in others. So stupid and unnecessary (in my opinion).

I hate crying. That lack of control. I can't understand people who say it makes them feel "better."

I've had panic attacks while driving in the mountains. Very dangerous, for me and for other vehicles. Since I live in a mountainous area, it means I'm kind of stuck in town.
