Get rid of one emotion.............

racso1975

if you could get rid of one emotion what would it be.


For me it would be guilt. I feel guilty about stuff I rationally should not. The downside of this may be that it would turn me into a horrible prick but hey its just hypothetical.

So what would you get rid of.

That would be a sense.

You're not making any to me.


I wouldn't get rid of any emotion completely, but would probably taper guilt and anger down a bit if I had the choice, which I do of course.

Anxiety

psychopaths have no guilt or empathy, that's what makes them psychopaths

for me anger would be the least required emotion.

Anger

If we could all keep a level head, a lot of problems would be sorted more easily.

Worry. It's pointless though.

Jealousy.

This too. I'm genetically programmed without the jealous envious gene so I'm utterly blessed.
Very low expectations have led to a very happy life and I'm thankful for every single thing I have.
I've watched jealousy destroy others lives.
Envy and vanity go hand in hand.
Double destruction.

Shame.

If you hit an old lady over the head and steal her purse then shame is pretty handy

True, there's always sunshine after rain, these things have always been the same.

Guilt would still be present.

Certain aspects of guilt and shame are necessary to stop us from turning this into the Lord of the Flies.
But I agree with you. Feeling unnecessary guilt and shame is crippling people

I'm the other way around - it's apathetic indifference. Everything in the circle of life keeps repeating itself over and over again. Technology can increase but morality can still revert and change depending on circumstances. In the future a limit on knowledge will be reached, resources depleted and everyone will go insane. The end.

Trust and Disappointment.

Experience has taught me to have little or no expectations or any trust of people or things in general.

That way you'll never be disappointed in them or caught out, and will sometimes even be pleasantly surprised the odd time . . . but don't expect any consistency or reliability.

Jealousy, as already mentioned. Such a needless emotion, life leads us all down a different path.

Hornyness. All that time spent waxing the bishop can instead be spent watching random videos on the net.

Atoms for Peace

Regret, the only emotion that gets worse with time.

r93kaey5p2izun

Shame. I think we'd be better off without it once we held on to guilt.

Self-loathing

Beyondgone

That emotion you feel when you realise the long weekend is nearly over and there's work tomorrow... they can have that one. Drop in a bag of "Friday feeling" and we'll call it a fair swap.

Loneliness.

eeguy

The feeling you get when you see an ex is doing well.
I'm not jealous, I really shouldn't care, but I still get that twist in my stomach for no reason.

Never be fooled by appearances, things are rarely as they may seem.
But I agree it's very painful if someone you love doesn't love you and then you see them all over someone else.
It's the worst feeling ever.

I would imagine you are watching random videos while doing that

I don't think removing guilt would make you a horrible person. I think you would simply still follow your intentions of what feels good. It is far more likely that you would still feel very good about helping someone more than hurting them. Cooperation gives many benefits so it would make you happier than the alternatives. You would probably respect your own boundaries more too

Anxiety for me. Would make things do easy

Anxiety for me too, and fear I suppose too. Always worried that something will happen to someone I love, I'm happiest when I know all who are dear to me are safe home in their beds at night.

That has to be an advantage in some professions at least and to get to the top of the food chain. What does that say about the nature of the world and existence? Doesn't sound too good to me anyway.
