People describe me as quiet and violent.

This can be a sign of a very dangerous person...

That's true, I should keep an eye out for myself. I might try to put the hurt on me.

lol, a bodyguard?

Think of it as self defence. A defence against herself.

I could use someone like that...

[Eyamsiyu]

My most common emotion...

If there was a way to say "chill," yeah, that would be me.  After that, probably frustration

This is yielding unexpected fruits! It is truly most fascinating to see what kinds of emotions are most common. I wonder... would lack of emotion count as an emotion? Because if so there should be a word for it. And not emotionless, although perhaps that is the best term for it.

Apathy, you mean?

My most common emotion...hmm...well, "happiness" doesn't really work, it's too surface, to my mind.  I would say that I strive to always find the good in every situation, and always look on the bright side and expect things to go well.  This is even though I know things CAN and DO go wrong, but I also know that how we allow ourselves to feel about them going wrong has a great deal to do with how wrong they go.  Like when you take a trip, your plane is delayed, and you fear you might not make your connection.  Either you can panic and think the worst and work yourself up into a fit, or you can calmly take charge of your destiny, make what plans you can, alert the flight attendants that you are going to need to get out quickly (and so they can radio ahead that you're on your way) and then, knowing you've done what you can, you can relax for the rest of the flight, secure in the knowledge that everything will work out in the end.

Serene, perhaps?  That could be what you'd call my major emotion...oh, wait, I know...Joyous.   I embrace the chaos around me, and just go with it, direct it when I can, and try very hard not to ever get sucked into negativity.  That's how you make yourself sick, after all.  I'm not saying I never get mad, but, well, it takes a lot (or very specific triggers) to get me that way, and it burns out fast and just makes me sad after, and I hate being sad (I spent a lot of my childhood sad, for various reasons) so I don't do that if I don't have to.


Wow...I sound like such a hippie   Awesome!

Emotionless states occur in anyone, I usually encounter them when I am tired, or disconnected.  Usually this is the preferred professional behavior for working environments from managers and HR in large companies.

They should not be occurring in social situations, otherwise that could be a sign of disordered thinking.

Usually my mood will shift within the context of the present events, from happiness during humorous events, or pleasant experiences, to sadness during grievous events or poignant moments, to anger and frustration during aggravating times and events.

To be emotionless at all times is not normal human response, and can lead to dangerous or callous behaviors.

ugh.   Do you think it I should be in therapy? I'm like this all the time (Most of the time)

Hmm, this is somewhat different to my perspective, To me an emotional response is a form of failure, it means i have failed to take all factors into account. For example, If i were to see someone run out of a house and shoot a dog, my first response would not be "OMFG That b******* just killed a dog!" I would observe and even if he had done it just for fun I would do my best to remain emotionless, and considering that there is no benefit to getting angry would probably just walk away or observe then leave.

There is a difference between repressing emotional responses, and not having emotional responses.

Repressing emotions is a learned behavior, in normal psychological responses if one would have an emotional event and stop it from manifesting publicly, there would still be biological triggers that could be read that repressing emotions one could not completely prevent.

Not having an emotional response to something that you should, is a form disordered thinking, and depending on severity could be caused by mental illness.

Repression to the point of chronic absence could be resolved through treatment, but is not necessarily healthy.

I agree that bottling emotions is not helpful n any situation, however, I do not believe that i am bottling. There is no emotion within me at most times, on the extremely rare occasions that i do have emotion i let it show, except if there is a situation where that would be unacceptable, like in the aforementioned hypothetical dog situation. For example, last night i showed the emotion of happiness, i do not bottle all emotion, i just do not have them.

Stoics in the old Roman ages worked hard to become like that. The difference with you is that they actually scolded or even punished themselves if at times an emotion would slip through. That, I think, is a much more serious situation than feeling you have no emotion inside you. It seems to me that your emotions are there, they just don't surface very easily. What caused that to be is hard to tell.
