do you let your emotions rule over you?

when i was younger and stumbled on tough situations, i easily got affected. sometimes, jumping into wild actions without thinking the consequences.i always get upset and feel lots of emotions when things don't go the way I want them to. i am thankful now that i get matured on some things. I not only learned that I should let my heart be open, but how to control my emotions. I believe some people have done what I almost did and lock their heart off. Others let their emotions run their lives. People should rule their lives and not their emotions ruling them.

sometimes i really let my feelings rule over me. well, im only human and controlling my feelings sometimes aint that easy. when i was younger, im so attach to my emotions that even a simple and small problems would affect me big time. i keep on crying and i even want to put things out of control. i dont know how to control things and i always ended up hating my life. but now, with all the roads ive been through with my life. i know i could control it. and sometimes, maybe being a human, we cant really expect when we would give up/ give in. but still i know i can handle it more easily now.

If I must tell the truth my emotions do get in my way a lot. I have been told so many times that I let my heart guide me too much really. It is hard not to because that is who I am. But I have learned that sometimes I need to kick back and relax. Thanks for starting this and happy mylotting to you as well.

we can’t regulate our emotions or how we feel, but we can always deal with them sensibly by learning how to react to them. If you do this you will differentiate yourself from those who are up or down from one minute to the next because they think what goes on inside their head is what’s important.

Sometimes. I'm very controlled and composed most of the times, but if something happens that really irks me, then I really get upset and let my emotions show.

we're the same on that aspect.as long as I'm not being messed, there will be no problem with me. i don't have issues of dealing with persons of varied backgrounds too.. that's why I'm away from getting upset and angry. all of my emotions are kept intact.

You have started a very good discussion, it is important to balance both the emotional and practical aspect of any relationship. One should know when and how much to use each. Important decisions should never be made when you are emotional and if you cant control it then get help from friends who may not be emotionally involved and help you make the right decisions. Hurtful words once spoken can not be taken back so be careful what you say when you get emotional especially when angry.
