What emotion do you dislike most in yourself?

[Changing4Best]

Yes, LOVE conquers all. Someone said that to me today and it so touched my heart, because the one who said it is the one I LOVE and I told him so!

Good emotions: hope, receiving care/love (not too much otherwise I get scared!), satisfaction in having achieved something (even small like going somewhere, or managing at home on my own for an hour)

For me it's guilt, anger and fear of failing

There is an emotion that goes along with feeling shaky to the point of physically shaking. I don't know what it is, but it is scary and overwhelming and destabilizing. Maybe some kind of grief. I'm not sure. That is the one I am most uncomfortable feeling and dislike going through. The other side of it is nice.
The feelings I dislike in myself are self-hate and self-absorbedness.

Resentment towards others.....you cross me I'm done with you.

Am working on it.

But heard an interesting quote on radio, "if a person shows you who they are, believe them".

Makes me think.

Very much appreciate @Heather's above quote by Maya Angelou, "When someone shows you who they are believe them."

Fear and uncertainty.

Sadly a major symptom I experience is emotional numbing. I still experience hopelessness and strong belief the World is not a fair place. The man that caused my PTSD merely lost his job and got whisked out of the country the next day to avoid the legal consequences. I got the life sentence though - Anxiety, the exaggerated startle response, concentration and short term memory are the consequences. But these negative feelings, I think are not emotions. My sister died last year. We were so very close. Her death was a "dull thud" but intellectually, I grieved and still do. When "bad things happen", I experience it as what I call a "dull thud". I dislike "dull thud's" but am powerless to change it. I think if a doctor told me I had a terminal illness, it would be another "Dull Thud", like I am the observer and not the person affected.

I am contributing and not whining. Emotional numbing has been a subject of countless hours with psychologists and psychiatrist and they can only empathise. So the best way to cope is to accept the world is not a fair place and it is what it is; we can then only seek to create a life journey as free as possible from the hazards.

Fear and anxiety are my go to, but i actually am battling them less and dislike them less which is a miracle in itself! My depression has significantly lifted since I started being ok with feelng my feelings so that's awesome. I actually would love some anger. Anger is often tied to motivation and action. I want to feel some energy moving! I want some fight back!

I don't know if it's an emotion, but being 'fragmented' and dissociated or dipping out like I usually do is that bad, dissociation is terrible with a terrible effect of derailing, shrinking your life, helplessness, depression, anger, frustration, hurt, sadness, loneliness, emptiness, pain, hopelessless, inadequacy, lack, those are all feelings that are so bad to deal with.
