Do you like having and/or feeling emotions?

[Invoker]

Strange question, I know, but its simple too.

Do you like being able to feel anger, love, distress, joy, etc?

I like to "feel" emotion.

I dislike feeling emotions.

Other?

I always get referred to as a "cold" person. A lot of people accuse me of being emotionless and not caring about them, and I honestly haven't a clue about how to react to that. My dad tells me that my mom had an affair with Satan.

I have a good amount of friends. I'm not anti-social or anything. I enjoy the company of people, however I cringe at the thought of having to get close to them physically or emotionally. I have friends simply because it is convenient and gives me something to do. But at the end of the day, they do not cross my mind.

The only thing I seem to feel passionately is anger. I can be absolutely vile when I'm angry. I have even gone as far as to blackmail my own mother when I got into an angry rage. However, this anger isn't so much an emotion as it is an act. I don't FEEL it inside. It just comes out. And then I snap out of it and look around me and everyone is staring at me like they've just seen a ghost. I do not understand why I get angry and I do not know how to make it stop. I honestly don't mean to do it. It just happens.

I do not try to be a bad person. I really don't. In fact, I thought I was completely normal until a friend of mine confronted me and told me, "Elis, I honestly do not think you have any emotions. And I'm being serious about this." I didn't know what to say to him but I love myself.

So I voted B.

I always love the feeling of positive emotion (joy, peace, love, etc.)...
when negativity (sadness, anger, frustration, loneliness, etc) hits me, that's what I don't like.. I acknowledge it and do something to get rid of it.. I don't like to get stuck in bad emotions.. I find it challenging to fight it off as its not easy.. As soon as I get over it and experience the positive emotions again, I feel I am a winner and stronger :)

No, because emotions lead to illogical thinking, poor decisions and pain.
Love leads to devastating heartbreak, so I do not want to feel it. I have not felt it since my first girlfriend broke my heart when I was 21. I have not been able to love anyone since that time.
Through karate and the army I learned that emotions were a sign of weakness and lack of intellect. Someone who is cold, detached and logical will always matter better decisions.
The less intelligent a person is, the more emotional they are and the less impulse control that they have.

Hm, taking kung fu, acknowledging that emotions are a well and alive part of ones life, is a balance in all things necessary. Balance is just as important as certain detachment.

@Asker if I was to feel anything, it would be from the dark side which, to me, is not the dark side at all.

haha there is such a thing as emotional intelligence. And the idea of emotions being weakness is a largely western concept. In eastern mythology emotions tend to be a necessity.

C- I don't really experience any emotions. I think I prefer not feeling them. I see friends and family overcome with grief at the loss of a loved one and it looks incredibly painful. Instead when I've lost a family member and or friend my reaction is more or less just "that sucks."

[Invoker]

What's your rational mind telling you regarding your lack of?

[ladsin]

Don't really understand the question... Regarding my lack of emotions my rational mind tells me that lacking them is both beneficial and detrimental. Beneficial in that it allows me clarity of mind and to make well informed decisions without letting emotions cloud my judgment. It can be detrimental however because it can negatively affect my interpersonal relationships as it bothers others if I do not respond emotionally as they do.
P. S I meant to add this earlier. When I was younger this lack of emotions was very upsetting to me and I constantly strived to mimic the emotions in order to feel them myself. When this failed to work I started taking speedballs (mixing uppers and downers) in order to feel something (mainly anger.) Now I like it though

[DumpliingPrincess]

I get ridiculously mad and overly sad to the point of bawling pretty frequently. Even though both emotions are a bit negative I would hate to never feel such strong emotions ever again.

[creativeusername101]

I would never want to be emotionally numb. having the bad feelings sometimes just makes times when you're feeling good that much better.

[kangy]

I like to have positive emotions like having empathy for people

[Invoker]

I'm sure everyone does, but as a whole, would you say you Like the ability to feel these emotions?

[kangy]

Yes i would want to otherwise i would be no different from a non living thing like the rock :P

[Invoker]

This is the answer I was Looking for. Emotion is a drive. But I'm wondering what comes of logical, detached thinking? Assuming that there was NEVER an emotion spilt into the world. What would a solely Logical person do?

[kangy]

think and think , his or her mind perhaps work like maths formula, like science

[maiez]

i like happy, but i can feel other emotions, they suck

[Anno_Domini]

I hate it. If I wasn't in a relationship, I would switch my anxiety medication to something that would permanently eliminate my emotions.

[Anonymous]

I don't even understand the point of emotions anymore.

[misscoffeehead]

Yeah pretty much.. I hide it quite well

[Anonymous]
