    Anger and desire for me. Normally, anger is more difficult to control, but if I want something enough, I find it nearly impossible not to go after it.

  2. #62

    Desire is a bitch to handle at times. Today my job required me t stand in an elevator to take up prospective freshmen and their parents for tours of the dorms, while my RA friends/coworkers were playing in the snow! I also have something of a crush on one of the RAs, whom I am close friends with. I had to stand in the docked elevator, watching them run around and have a blast together. Sometimes I really hate being left out of group fun, because I fear that will bond together in a way that makes me an outcast. I generally am a loner and I'm trying to remedy that. So yeah, desire sucks. Also, I hate when I desire cigarettes or other substances. I only give in a few times a year, but the fear that I'll cave is enough to bug me thoroughly.

    more like an anxiety, jealousy type thing

  4. #64

    It used to be anger for me, but I've learnt to control it better. I cannot control being embarrassed though, even if I try to justify to myself at the time, and the feeling won't go away for 0.5-3 days.

  5. #65

    Definitely sadness. When I'm sad, that's it! I'm upset! And it will take awhile to calm down. I calm down quicker when alone.

  6. #66

    Anger makes me feel very out of control, but I rarely/never express it. I think I'm fine at controlling the others--although sometimes when I'm in a silly mood I have a hard time containing my amusement.

  7. #67

    Fear, because of my inferior Ne.

  8. #68

    I don't have any difficulty to control any emotion...

  9. #69

    Fear.

    When I read all the previous answers, like jealousy, anger, desire, embarassment, I wonder: Doesn't worrying about controlling these other things all stem from fear?

    Fear of betrayal (jealousy)
    Fear of a loss of situational control (anger)
    Fear of romantic rejection or "sexual harassment" charges (desire)
    Fear of social rejection (from doing embarassing things, like laughing inappropriately)

    Agree? Disagree?

    I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain.

    I don't generally have a problem with any, but when I feel I've been wronged it very much sticks with me, and if the wrong is of great enough an intensity that I get angry it is extremely hard to let it go.

    Though I can be intensely fearful about certain things, sometimes. Sensitive to rejection and all that.
