you can t control emotions, you feel what you feel, you can comtrol the impact emotions have on your body, (cry, frown, yell...) but you can t control how you feel about an event or someone.
-
For me, I can control most of them. There are times when I just don't quite have the hold I need. That is where the problems start.
-
No, controlling emotions by conscious will is a human impossibility. It's possible to repress emotions, but when a person tries to repress their emotions, that's not an example of someone controlling their emotions, but rather an almost perfect example of their emotions controlling *Them*.
-
I think it's possible sometimes but very hard!
-
I don't think a person can control all of their emotions. I can't say they are stronger than me but I do have them.
-
I think a person is always in control of their emotions. We just forget that sometimes, so they "get away" from us.

Certainly with discipline one can "unplug" the source of many emotional reactions (i.e. anger, fear, etc), if that's enough control then I guess that's my answer. There's the other kind of control, of course -- suppression, which pretty much everyone does every day... widely regarded (and wisely so) as unhealthy. The thing I think most people should be working on is not controlling the emotions but disconnecting the negative ones from their ACTIONs (so that anger doesn't automagically become unwise action, for example) Beyond that, certain spiritual disciplines seem to work at "cultivating" certain emotions. I don't practice them, so I'm not an expert on the topic... but from what I've heard and read it seems authentic.

We are an ambiguous creature human beings, comprised of reason and emotoin.. they are contradictory forces, that normally shouldnt mix, but you can find that you can use either to control the other.. emotions can be controlled..
-
I think it is possible to observe emotions rather than control them. If you feel anger, you just note the anger in yourself. In this way I find that emotions rarely get the better of me.
-
If you understand the cause of emotions what you can't control you can at least tolerate.
-
I feel it is possible. Sometimes our emotions can be overwhelming at times, but with discipline, it is very possible to keep them under control. I am a very emotional person, so at times I find it hard to keep it under control. I have to remind myself to not take things on a "personal level".
-
For me,no...I can not control them especially anger and tears. But I can control fear if I am around people who are afraid then I will be strong for their sakes....though inside I am screaming like a little girl.
-
I believe you can control your emotions, if you are sad you can sublimate them and go on with your life. I think you can come to terms with all your old emotions if you dredge them all up on at a time, examine them and then set them free and then continue from there. I believe it is a life long process but it is attainable.
-
I cannot control my emotions but i can certainly control my behaviour. I can also shut down, repress and/or avoid my emotions, though the results make me sick.
-
Yes it is possible to control emotions :)
