I have been practicing and experimenting for a long time with different methods and techniques to take control of what I think about. I learned early in life that my reality is shaped by what thoughts bounce around in my brain. I know that I can't change my brain of course, like you can't decide how tall you are or the color of your eyes but you do control your mind, when you accept the responsibility of choosing how you react to events and practice being neutral, non judgmental and egotistical something happens, you begin to simply accept what you can't change, you stop allowing events, other peoples opinions and their perspectives influence you, I don't mean to be insensitive and cold I mean be confident and secure with you. We are one in the same, my brain, my mind, my choice... So, long story short, I control my thoughts and how I react to situations and events, feelings come and go... good and bad... nothing you can do about that it's a wild ride sometimes , I am pretty happy and content...;-)
i got them on lock, until i get in front of a heavy bag.

My feelings and moods definetly have an impact on the way I speak, act whatever. But it doesn't always define me. I make sure to stay calm and civil when I'm mad, I don't act up when I'm having a bad day, I don't cry in public if I'm sad. I've learned to (mostly) control myself if I'm feeling some type of way.
I've always been a sensitive, and sort of more reliant person on my emotions, they've always had a large impact on my thoughts, but they never controlled me completely. The only time I allow my mood/emotions to overwhelm my actions is when I'm in crippling pain from my period or when i'm so fucking mad/sad I'm gonna cry and hit someone.
Seeing as I have a multitude of mental disorders/illnesses, the case would be that my emotions control me... or at least, they used to. I do control my emotions now mostly, but it's not always easy and sometimes, they do take the reigns again.
A little of each. It depends on the situation. In general I'm fairly in control, but I think most of us have times when our emotions get the better of us.
I'm in control, I sometimes wonder why some people have so much trouble doing so

For the most part, I'm usually the one in control of my feelings.
I have a saying actually.
"Emotions are like fire. If kept under control, it will breath life and color into everything you do. If left untamed however, it will burn both you and everything around you."
I believe before a person lets their emotions run wild, they should always reinforce their decisions with logic. There's a time and a place to retaliate and let your emotions go, but it has to be for the RIGHT reasons.
Example: If a person gives you real, actual constructive criticism. You can either choose to let your ego get in the way and lash out at them, or, you can calm down and think before you speak and actually apply their logic on an internal basis and grow as a human being.
I feel like there was a time in my life where I was much more emotionally based, and my emotions dictated what I would do. However, since that time, I feel I have improved in mind and resilience to not let emotions get the better of me.
Growing up has allowed me to control my feelings better. While I do accept them and factor them into my decision making, I don't let them be the ultimate reason.
I'd say it varies. Fear and anxiety control me more than other emotions.
I'm not as affected by sadness or anger, although anger gets me more than sadness does.
My emotions control me. I'm trying to tame them. I would like to have more control over them
I've become better in making it A... but on some occasions it's been B :-(

I've worked hard to have high 'emotional intelligence' and control my emotions. Not always tho
The only aspect of my emotions that controls me is my depression. I can't seem to beat that. But other than that, I'm in total control.
No I can't control anything... I'm an emotional wreck.
Depends. Most of the time, except for love lol, I manage to control them pretty well.

It honestly depends on the situation
