Title: Anger, Fear, or Sadness?
Post by: Dog Donovan on March 02, 2009, 02:31:17 PM
I'm an optimist; I don't feel these emotions so I can stand on my two feet and help others up!

Mmm.
For me its a tie between Fear and Anger.
When I'm angry I'm an unstoppable force but the anger tends to come from fear.

I'd have to say Sadness or, more specifically, Sorrow/Anguish. When I do get angry (quite often with myself) everybody knows about it and I lash out a lot but it doesn't happen as often or with the same force as Sadness. I feel fear a lot on some occasions but I'd say fear (at least the large version) occurs less frequently than the others.
That being said though, I do have my moments (sadly less these days) in which I can shrug all of it off in a rush of energy and determination, especially if it's more for someone else's sake rather than my own.

Sadness...
I rarely get angry, only if I have a grudge or something like that against someone and that someone ticks me off more.
The other feelings.. same, I rarely fear something (needles *shrugs*)

Mostly anger but sometimes bouts of anguish surface. Fighting them down to appear cold is a kind of medicine I use.

All of these I feel quite often. Fear and sadness are the strongest two, but anger, I'll go feral on someone if they get me angry enough (Hasn't happened much latley, thank goodness)

I think he means it has negative effects on the body. Which is true, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't feel the triad at all.... THat's worse than feeling them at extremes.

Admittedly I have a massive fear for the Ocean (more specifically Ocean Dwellers) and heights other than in a plane. Not really subject to other fears though, except certain emotional What-Ifs.

I have extreme sadness sometimes. I don't know why though.
Title: Re: Anger, Fear, or Sadness?
Post by: ★Kuro★ on March 03, 2009, 08:10:47 PM
I have depression, so mine would be sadness.
Next would be fear.
Then anger.
I'm not so much of an angry person as much as I am a sad person.

Anger is second for me. I can get fustrated and anger easily.

I'm trying new things. But I want to do some old things I used to do.

Yesterday I let myself get consumed with an transcendant amount of fury. I popped a knuckle out of place hitting a wall; had to pop it back in. Fun huh? I'm better now, I swear! Because now I found a way to keep touch with you guys... A magical, mystical... Public Library! Two hours a day keeps the anger away...

Does apathy count? Besides that I'm a very angry person with alot of repressed and squashed aggression.
Title: Re: Anger, Fear, or Sadness?
Post by: Dr. Strange on March 10, 2009, 09:56:08 PM
It might. Mostly, though, it's a lack of feeling so it could be just as bad...
Title: Re: Anger, Fear, or Sadness?
Post by: Crass1905 on March 10, 2009, 10:02:45 PM
I don't see it as bad. I see it as a plus.
Title: Re: Anger, Fear, or Sadness?
Post by: Dr. Strange on March 10, 2009, 10:06:38 PM
Depends on how you look at it. It's great that it's a plus to you, but, on the other hand, apathy is a sort-of indifference and it might not be so 'healthy' to not really care.... But whatever. Your lifestyles' your lifestyle.
Title: Re: Anger, Fear, or Sadness?
Post by: Dog Donovan on March 11, 2009, 12:09:48 AM
Mmmm, apathy... The prominent feeling in me when others are insulting or degrading me (rare). Can't be sad, refuse to be mad, I'm not scared of them, so I simply lose some happiness for a bit.

If someone is insulting or degrading a friend however, I get quite angry. A person in RL had to find that out... Wanna' guess how it turned out for them? Aaaah... the self-proclaimed Wolf jabbing an upstart teenager in the stomach...
Title: Re: Anger, Fear, or Sadness?
Post by: Dr. Strange on March 11, 2009, 09:31:55 PM
Ha ha ha! That's hilarious. For some reason, I don't have to deal with people bothering my buddies... I think it's cause I have so many scars and there's so many (mostly untrue) stories going around as to why they're there. I don't discount them; it's more fun to see the fear people have regarding me.
Title: Re: Anger, Fear, or Sadness?
Post by: Dog Donovan on March 20, 2009, 12:47:38 PM
Admittedly, I have tremendous spikes of emotion for my friends. Like Wolfgang. He was sad yesterday and seeing him so nearly made me break out crying. But, I will myself past sadness, anger, and fear so I can keep great friends like Wolfgang up.

sadness has taken over alot lately.
Depression, better put.
I hate it. It destroys my outlook on life.

Winning a fight is not enough, you gotta break a person, instill in them the reasoning to never cross you again. Winning is mute if they come back to do it again.

I'd of said hate is my deepest emotion but frankly Its not as fun, a raptor craves blood!

I'm THE most badpants Blocko in Blockland, that's why "Frank Keegan has joined the game" makes players say zOMG, and "Frank Keegan has spawned" makes people press ALT+F4 as soon as possible.

The Death Match is my house of shat bricks.

I am now a few points less in IQ because of that. That holds no relevance to absolutely anything that could be considered a rational thought. The very fact that you put a Z in front of OMG makes me have to hurt you.. badly. Added to that the instant derailing of this threads topic I'm gonna be forced to put a big ol hefty helping of Banhammer justice on you!

But serious we need to keep this on topic

I have to say, I mostly experience sadness.
I'm never fully happy because there's that sadness in me from not having my mate with me.
Anger and fear are always dwelling too.
I'm afraid that things won't turn out like planned considering the future.
I am easily annoyed, which makes me angry...I get the anger from my dad.
I'm pretty sure the reason I'm very emotionally unstable most of the time is the bad combination of my dad's bad emotion issues (mostly anger, frustration, annoyance) and my mom's bad emotion issues (easily upset, easily offended, attitude).

Lately, I haven't been affected by negative feelings either!

Fear is the most common, recently. Fear of rejection, and fear of incompleteness of my schoolwork.
