the one emotion i can consistently rely on feeling is anger, but it is fleeting. regret, perhaps, after?



is loneliness an emotion?

I'm so integrated with them this is akin to asking "what does having skin feel like?"

Mine are intense. They tend to come in waves over cyclical 6-8 week periods. I think it has to do with activity level. I usually become very active and have more energy then burn out and need some time to veg and recover for a bit. I'm striving for more balance in this area of my life.

what if it wasn't?
I'm sure that wouldn't be good for me.

Even if it were somehow done painlessly in a way that doesn't kill me, my brain would probably flip out from the lack of stimuli.

Usually fleeting. Can be both weak and intense, depending on what's going on in my life and how stressed I am. I have the tendency to build up emotions without even realizing it, like something trivial triggers an emotional response but the scale of it is revealed maybe days, weeks later and then it can be very intense.

For me, it depends a lot on how much I allow them to affect me. At any given moment, i'm capable of very intense feeling. I work very hard, however, to keep them at more of a slow burn as much as I can. I prefer to make rational choices, and since i'm an F (raised by an INTJ) it's been something I've worked at for most of my life.

Unfortunately, some feelings are beyond my control...and that can be...problematic.

My emotions . . . you know, I really can't bring words to describe every nuance of emotion that I feel. Sometimes there's intense internal feelings, hidden romantic spirits, and deep seated feelings. Other times, it's like I'm dead on the inside.

Maybe I'll post pictures later; illustration serves as a better guide for communicating such complex things.

EDIT: post 3100.

Annoyance, contentment/happiness with an occasional bout of anger/sadness. They are usually fleeting but emotional buildup can lead to a mood that won't go away. It's hidden intensity.

Most of the time they feel foggy or very far away. Every so often they all come into focus and are a little overwhelming. But it's not often or for very long.

I guess the best way I can describe it is 'the complete and total opposite of mood swings.' I'm generally happy-go-lucky to neutral.

Funnily, there's always some small anxiety buzzing around in my head, despite that (not that it's every anything bad or serious).

Like cognitive biases I have that aren't able to interpreted as false except in hindsight.

Tending towards intense. Mostly fleeting but not always.

Consistent and steady. Neutral when I'm stressed/in less-than-ideal situations and upbeat, cheerful or neutral when I'm in comfortable situations.

There's really not much to report.

I've been majorly depressed before but even then it was more of a mental depression than an emotional one. I kind of envy those with more "artistic temperaments." They just seem to have such a rich emotional world. All the different flavours. I've got vanilla and chocolate. All of it softserve. Yawn. Sometimes I'd just like a little Tanzanian chocolate chili gelato, ya know?
