The most difficult emotion to control

Hands down anger. You know how many eyes I've scratched out with that? Now I just punch walls or scream into a pillow. Following anger is laughter. Seriously, who's not going to laugh at a poor ol' lady falling? I'd help but only after I'd had my laugh.

ROFL - I just pictured you getting ferociously angry at a some poor ol' lady, pushing her down some stairs and then laughing at her. Anger leads to laughter I guess, for some reason the image of it almost had me laughing too

I can control my anger very well, it's when I'm overly happy or excited that I have a hard time containing myself. I like to be reserved and in check, though sometimes I have happy outbursts and everyone thinks the world is about to end... le sigh.

fear (of things that might/might not happen)

Embarrassment by far, it's the only one that always involves other people and thus harder to control.

@Desolan you spelled "embarrassment" by wrong, you're lacking a 'r'

I hate it when I do that. Thanks
-I'll blame it on the auto spell checker. It obviously didn't pick it up.
-It doesn't seem like it will let me fix it though

While I answered Anger as my hardest to control emotion, when I think about it I am more inclined to answer sadness. I am more familiar with the Anger emotion than sadness, and while I might have an outburst, it is very rare for me not to be able to direct and channel this outburst into a safe and often even constructive direction. Sometimes it can even be a little fun to get angry.

Sadness to me is such a foreign emotion that I would have to say that I'm afraid of letting it get to me. There have been times when I have come close to crying, but at those times I am often using all of my effort to avoid and suppress the emotion rather than allow myself to experience it.

So while sadness may be the emotion I display one of the least, when I experience it, it takes more, and I put more of my effort into controlling it than my other emotions.

I used to have horrible anger issues back in High School, but I don't really have any outbursts about it anymore. Definitely prideful about that now. lol I do however don't like crying too much in public. That's one thing now I try hard to not allow, especially at work. I want the employees there to trust me as much as I trust them and me breaking down early in training would have been pretty bad.

yup. anger.

I don't have much trouble controlling any of my emotions. I chose happiness, though, because I have a hard time suppressing laughter when someone's trying to make me laugh.
