The most difficult emotion to control

Emotional Outbursts in public are usually inappropriate. Expressing emotions is healthy and recommended, but expressing it to the point where it becomes a public display, and there is difficulty controlling your response becomes an outburst.

Anger easily.

For me it's apathy, really...

I wonder how a person can get an emotional outburst of apathy? - Become depressed?

Anger, although i don't get angry in public. I lurk behind the shadows with a machete and strike when they least suspect it :p

Desire hands down, hands down, hands down,
It's not so much hard for me to control what I want, that parts easy, it's the attempting to get what I want (the "outburst")

I can't really relate to any of these I struggle to withold laughter at times but it's usually situational and not related to happiness.

It's a toss up between anger and fear for me. The anger usually leads to fear. I'll leave/hide because I am afraid of myself confronting someone in anger. I don't want to hurt anyone.

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.

Happiness comes in third. Sometimes I'll randomly laugh or grin just because I feel like it and people look at me strangely. Haha.

Anger is awful when it happens (rare for me). I'd say that it is probably the hardest to control. Also, anxiety can be hard to control, but I've become pretty familiar with it over the years, so it's not that difficult.
