Are you generally in control of your emotions?

Question

WhiteSteve · Accepted Answer

I was not earlier today, lmao. I had almost answered this before, and got sidetracked and signed out; I was about to say I was pretty good, save for frustration with certain tasks seemingly just going wrong at every term, and also in confrontational situations where I’m being challenged physically or being egregiously disrespected. Like I can snap over “fightin’ words”, and then I’m really off the handle. That’s why I’m in three separate hockey leagues, and all three groups separately have dubbed me “Crazy Steve”, lmao. It’s hard to get me there, but when I’m there…. look out, lmao. I am NOT regulated in that moment😅😂

But the other scenario I realized can make me lose my mind…. bug attacks, especially mosquitoes. Took my dog for a hike after the first attempt and got IMMEDIATELY swarmed. I think maybe because they can carry disease compounds with the general annoyance of being bitten, and after a few back-to-back-to-back bites, I’m just frantically flailing and slapping myself, and I just start screaming and cussing at the mosquitoes, lmfao. I’m just in the middle of the woods alone like “rrrrrrrrrAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!! GET THE FUCK OFF MEEEEEE!!!”, just hoping another hiker isn’t within earshot😅😂

So…. I’m generally pretty good handling life’s ups-and-downs, but definitely not 10/10. Maybe like 7/10.

@nikki1989 Most of the time, Yes, but when driving when confronted with, rude, tailgating, obnoxious drivers,... NO. I quickly lose patience and temper.

Incredibly in control of my emotions. I am a pragmatist which means that I keep Reason and emotions separate. My emotions are neatly stores in little cardboard boxes inside my head, lines never get blurred and they only come out to play in a safe environment and in my creative pursuits. I stay far away from drama.

a lot of my emotions I am in control of.. some of them I am not that much in control but not in a bad way.. like sadness, but I am getting better..

Tarifa · Answer

I think that emotions are what control our behaviour, or steer us in the right or wrong direction. Many times, I've worked out a plan and did the exact opposite of what I thought I would do. Other times, the emotional side offered me the solution to what I struggled to grasp in a logical way. So it works both ways.

Karrimurray · Answer

Honestly, I’m not always in control of my emotions. Sometimes I react first and think later, especially when I feel hurt or misunderstood. But I’ve learned not to be ashamed of having emotions. I’m trying to understand them instead of letting them control how I treat people. I don’t think emotional maturity is about being calm all the time, it’s about being honest enough to admit when you’re wrong and strong enough to work on yourself.

HellGeist · Answer

Yes, but when I lose control I lose it badly, so that is why I do my best to maintain control. When I allow myself to get pushed too hard, I end up being too harsh and it creates problems. I have to be very careful about who I let close to me, because I hate people getting under my skin.

Kavyapharma · Answer

Yes, emotional control is an important part of maintaining healthy relationships, making better decisions, and handling stressful situations. Being in control of your emotions does not mean ignoring or suppressing feelings. It means understanding your emotions and responding to situations calmly rather than reacting impulsively.

Practicing emotional awareness, mindfulness, positive thinking, and stress management can help improve emotional control. It is also normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes; learning how to manage those feelings is more important than trying to eliminate them.

Friendlybro79 · Answer

Generally yes until someone puts me in a position to not be. Which might be me still in control and just reacting appropriately... hmm that second part has me thinking.

I would say generally was the question and generally I am.
