I chose Happiness-leading to laughter, just because I will start randomly laughing in front of strangers and they'll stare at me like I'm psycho.
For me personally, it's anger/confrontation. If I'm angry about something, I'll let it be known. Sometimes I wish I weren't so confrontation and could control it better, but at the same time I don't really want my anger bottled up, so best to get it out!
I would say fear for sure. Every other emotion comes and goes, but the fear of the unknown is always there, lurking, waiting to sink its vampiric teeth into your neck when you are most exposed.
But wait this was supposed to be in a public setting, and I haven't ever been out of control fearful in that case. So probably anger, if you push my buttons long enough I will bring the analytical hammer down to crush your hopes and dreams.
I put anger. I truly believe jealousy is nasty as well.
I chose sadness because all of my uncontrollable emotions (jealousy, anger, indignation, being touched by some event from the past, being touched by some song) can be traced back to some emotive sadness and crying.
Then definitely anger and jealousy, OMG.
I find embarrassment and fear the most difficult emotion to control. I voted for embarrassment because sometimes I can talk myself out of being afraid of something, but embarrassment and shame are so deep rooted in me that they are instantaneous.[QUOTE @BlissfulDreams]
Me too I find that embarrassment for me is the hardest to control.I will be too afraid to speak my mind for fear of being made fun of which can sometimes lead to anger and frustration.I got bullied a lot at school so I wouldn't put my hand up to answer a question for fear of being wrong or if I was right fear that I would be called the teachers pet or a know all.
I think it's quite hard to control embarrassing events to happen which lead to embarrassment. (Do I make any sense?) Like with all the other emotions, I'd try to talk myself out of it but it just takes a bit of more time.
I tend to beat myself up quite bad, thinking of how those embarrassing things wouldn't happen if I did something differently and really wanna hide in a hole...
It's laughter, for me, and not always from happiness. Usually it pops out when I see someone doing a dumbass thing, or when I see something that strikes me as hilarious. And it's not always appropriate, either. I laughed once when I had to deliver the news than an acquaintance was dead. As Rick Perry would say: "Oops." It's not that I thought the death was funny, it was just my way of dealing with the suckitude of it.
