How well can you control your emotion?

I can control what I show to others - I will rarely cry in front of people for example, but I think I am a very emotional person. Growing up the message I had from my mother was that I shouldn't have any feelings - that any opinion or emotion of mine was wrong and inconvenient to her. So I grew up holding in a huge amount of anger, and this contributed to the fact that I had an eating disorder for about 12 years. I think if you suppress anything big emotion or trauma it will come out and manifest itself in some other way. You need to deal with your own emotions and the causes of them and recognise them for what they are, and know the source. If you just let them go unheeded you may find you express them inappropriately somewhere else - I would find myself having angry outbursts at people and later realize it wasn't them I was angry with, but I hadn't dealt with the underlying anger I already had in me, and the reasons for it. Now that I have, I can see this before it happens and say to myself, they are not the one you should take this out on! I think although I won't show it too much to others I am very emotional, I can cry at anything when I;m on my own.

i myself is not a very good emotion controller, but when i have some kind of negative emotions, i choose either to run around my block for ten rounds or find someone who does wrong thing to me and have a great quarrel.that will release, and i never get my family into my quarrel or anyone who hasn't do wrong things to me.that's a deadline.

When I was younger I did find it a lot harder to keep my emotions in check. I was never violet or aggressive when I became emotional but I would get upset quite easily or become affected by little things. I think as I have become older I have much better control of my emotions and have realised that I do not always have to 'react' to everything.

i feel it's really difficult to control my emotions. i don't like it. sometimes i feel embarrased if i did not control my emotions in front of people. However i don't want to control my emotions. the life pressure is so big to me why should i always control myself? so sometimes i said my anger directly. especailly after i moved to the UK. when i met some unfair things in my life i told it out. i think i should let the people who made me anger also upset. some one deserves the revenge. however i do agree we should control our emotion especially bad emotion in case we make another big mistake.

It's really hard for me to control my emotions, and I feel really bad about it a lot of the time because whether we realize it or not the vibes that we put off with the things we say and the attitude we have is contagious to those around us. When I get angry or upset about things I have a hard time letting go of it, at least for a day, then I'll say I'm over it but bring it up from time to time. I think a lot of it has to do with not being able to keep our negative feelings inside. Sometimes ranting or yelling and things like that are necessary for us to manage those emotions and to make sense of them because when it's all thoughts in our heads it's hard to deal with.

Acctually, most people usually face stress in daily life. If everyone become violent when facing stress, the society will become horrible. Four years ago, I couldn't control my emotion and I felt sad when facing difficult things. But I didn't put the anger on other guys. After that, someone gave me an advice when you face stress just say" Common Heart" 3times, you can calm down. It is useful , you can try it.

I used to flare up right away when I am faced with such situations. But later on, I have learned to adjust and let my emotions go away. I just pause and inhale and exhale. From there, I think of what options to do and face the situation in a calm and cool manner. It is really important to stay cool. It certainly makes a difference.

i don't hit any one nor throw things when i get angry and i don't cuss or curse people . but i still say sometimes i can't control my emotion but when i can't control emotion it shows by some bad expression on my face but i will not do that will hurt other people. so it is still not that bad. but still i want to learn to control my emotion more and not to get affected that much.

i could not control emotion very well, many young people also have this trouble, but face to stress,their reast is different,someone must be released it immediately, someone like to released their emotion in another ways, such as shopping,eating or playing gams and so on, when were going older,we will be know how to control and released in the correct way. not do not reast on everything. good luck and have a nice day!

If i were angry, i would control it and not let my anger trouble others. I think we should try to learn how to control our emotion,esp. the bad and angry emotions.Maybe some people think letting out their anger can make them feel better and more relaxed. But i donot agree with it. Compared with this method, there are many good channels,such as. talking with friends, writing down all of the troubles on the paper and then throw it into the trash can. :)

I can control my temper really well. Some of my schoolmates would ask me if why I don't get angry that fast. Some of them maybe wondering if I really have feelings. Some of them may think that I'm weird because I can really control my emotions. It's just being developed and the way I handle things. I really don't personally keep hidden emotions I let it pass and let it out easily.

I do not get angry easily and see to that i adjust to the maximum i can. I lose my temper if the person keeps irritating me for a long time. I just talk back very strongly or leave the place to stop the argument. But if my brother get's wild he will band the wall, bang the door... If opposite person is dumb and not worth it, i'll just walk away without responding.

I have control over my emotion pretty well. Some people even begin to think I'm indifferent or just really passive about things. Even when I'm in bad situation, instead of panic, I remain calm. I begin to analyze the problem and look for solutions(multiple solutions as backup plans).

People control their emotions in different ways. You get whatever reaction based on how you respond to a situation. If you answer in hostility (guilty), people will despise you more. If you answer in kindness and compassion, people tend to have more favorable reactions.

I think i can control my emotions very well but at times it can be worse as i really should just let it out rather than holding it in. compared to the build up of too much stress its completely worth it to speak up and even be somewhat rude. for me i ignore them and walk away usually though.

I think I have pretty good anger management. I don't act violent in conflicts and I can reason with some issues. I don't find venting anger to others as a good thing. No matter what we need to take a deep breath, think through and try to solve it without too much emotion intact.

I dont react to the crisis situations and keep calm!

Yes, I totally agree with you that some people can control their emotion very easily and others could not. Learning to control emotion is a very important part of life. Well, controlling your emotions doesn't mean ignoring them. It means recognizing them, and either acting on them or learning how to change them when you need to do so. What I do is just ask myself throughout the day: "How am I feeling right now?" If you can, keep a journal. When you feel depressed, stop and notice the situation that produced it. Rate your mood on a scale from 1-100, with 1 being the least intense and 100 being the most intense that you are able to feel. But these days I have learn to avoid the cognitive distortions which make things look worse than they really are. Most of us have heard the expression, "looking at the world through rose-colored glasses." But when you use cognitive distortions, you tend to look at the world through mud-colored glasses!
