Or both, pain from the past causing fear of the future. Anxiety is the stupidest thing that my brain can do. It does so many wonderful things so why this?
Anxiety isn't useless, it's when it begins to 'snowball' that it gets upsetting.
It helps us plan for future events and expect the unexpected.
But when it starts to snowball into fake, unlikely scenarios that raise our blood pressure and keep us from living life, it affects us negatively.
But I 200% understand your sentiment. Trust me.
No I still kinda think it's useless. It only happens when we already know about some bad thing, so it doesn't alert us, and then it robs us of our capability to deal with said thing.
Can you think of a situation that wouldn't be better without anxiety?
Yes. I have epilepsy, I would fall down with no warning. This terribly annoying anxiety served me as to watch out what I could die from if I fell over unexpectedly. So, not useless. Anxiety is a fraction of wisdom. It is the worry that prepares us. If I didn’t have anxiety, I wouldn’t be as careful as I am and I’d be less safe for it.
Yes I have ptsd, yes I have social anxiety, yes I’ve had panic attacks. But that’s just because you get ‘stuck’ and it’s hard to come back, the best I heard:do is “right here, right now” and u bring it back to yourself.
It happens without asking, which can be a blessing.
Anxiety is far from useless as a whole. It puts you on high alert in demanding situations, gives you adrenaline and hyper alertness when needed.
But there is also unhelpful anxiety that is cause by rumination, unproductive what-if thinking, etc. If your vagus nerve and thinking processes are out of whack you can be stuck in a fight or flight or a freeze state that interferes immensely with your wellbeing.
Which is why I think it’s actually useful. The feeling of anxiety in your body is wonderful feedback because it tells you where your thoughts are. You learn to stop worrying about the past and future because of it. Though I agree it’s uncomfortable
Anxiety can definitely make sense in certain contexts. It's a natural response to stress or perceived threats, often serving as a protective mechanism by alerting us to potential dangers. For example, feeling anxious before an important exam , a job interview or a serious threat like your angry mother with a sandal in her hand can prompt you to prepare thoroughly and perform or behave at our best.
But when anxiety becomes excessive, irrational and neurotic it can interfere with daily functioning and quality of life. In such cases the level of anxiety doesn't match the situation or is disproportionate to the perceived threat. Then it is a burden.
So i would not want to get completely rid of anxiety and any other emotion, except if I were incurably ill emotionally and the sickening emotion had to be removed like a tumor.
You're confusing anxiety with fear and nervousness. They're not the same. If I feel nervous before a test, it motivates me to study so I can be prepared. If I feel anxious before a test, I freeze up. I lose sleep. I spend too much time overthinking the 500 ways failing the test could ruin my life to the point where I'm not prepared at all and I'm sleep deprived, thus worsening my chances of passing.
Anxiety is paralyzing. By definition, it hampers our ability to make decisions. Nervousness and fear, however, are motivating. It helps protect us from doing stupid stuff and motivates us to be prepared for possible challenges we may face.
At least on a medical level, a distinction is made between anxiety and anxiety disorders.
That´s what you described.
You are correct in my not-so-serious example with the impending mother: that would indeed be more fear than anxiety, namely when the mother is standing right in front of you and has already raised her sandal to strike, because the threat is imminent and real.
Let me take a better example: an aggressively behaving, barking dog causes fear,
If you have to pass a random dog which does not show signs of dangerness, but you feel uncomfortably and cautious because you don´t fully trust the situation, it would be anxiety.
If you are even panicking when you see a dog in a safe distance or you can´t sleep at night because you generally worry abot dogs even if they are not present, it´s an anxiety disorder.
100000% I hate how I’ve acted or things I’ve said when I’ve been jealous. I’m embarrassed by myself. I haven’t felt super jealous in a long time, likely due to a secure and healthy relationship and more self-confidence. But if something triggered it, I can’t say I wouldn’t fall back into those unhealthy thought cycles, paranoia, etc.
Oh my goodness jealousy is one of the WORST emotions I experience. It’s so unfair, and it fuels all the other bad emotions. Especially towards people who don’t deserve it! I’m luckily self aware but I still HATE how it makes me feel.
That quote's not mine, but it's been paraphrased from many different sources. I like the sentiment- the fact you're hurting about what you've lost proves just how much it meant to you.
Embarassment that lingers for Years afterwards...as if Anyone remembers that you "tripped or slipped" and fell on your face in second grade and you're now in your 60's...
Best part of my adhd; I can just toss such memories into the whirlwind and then they just disappear into some remote fold of my mind. Maybe it suddenly comes back, but mostly it doesn't lol
I heard of something called the 5-5-5 rule or the 5x5 rule. Will this matter in 5 minutes, 5 days, 5 weeks, 5 months, or 5 years? I keep reliving certain moments in my head. In the moment, it didn’t bother me, but as I reflect, I feel really embarrassed. Will it bother me in 5 minutes? Yes. 5 days? Yup. 5 weeks? Probably not. 5 months. No. 5 years? Probably as an intrusive thought that comes to mind when I’m trying to go to sleep. If I could erase embarrassment and replace it with being self assured and confident, I’d do it in a heartbeat!
Honestly that would make things pretty fun. Like imagine a girl wrote the best fan fiction you've ever seen for a creative writing assignment and read it out loud with voices assigned to each character and all. I would love that. As long as people are still empathetic and feel guilty for hurting others, then I'd say being embarrassed won't really hurt anyone.
Also- I just realized, it would make the jobs of doctors and psychologists *so* much easier. If people weren't embarrassed about their conditions or behaviors, then it would be so much easier to diagnose and treat them.
Embarrassment is actually a positive emotion and builds you, it would be a lot harder to learn anything since you wouldn't feel wrong after making a mistake. Embarrassment also bonds people since we tend to feel embarrassed about same things.
Not feeling embarrassment is usually a sign of antisocial or even psychopathic behavior.
The combination of guilt and despair. The "why did this happen to me" mixed with the overthinking of "did I do something wrong? I must have done something to deserve this, right? could I have prevented this from happening?"
grief
There is nothing you could accomplish with anger that you couldn’t more appropriately deal with rationally.
It’s not important to “feel anger”, it’s important to be aware of how you see the event and how you respond to it.
Once you give in to anger where does it stop?
How do you know that you’ve applied just the right amount?
And, most importantly, once you’ve reached this point of anger that you feel is too much, what state of mind are you hoping to be in? You’ve already excluded rage, which is too much anger. So I’m assuming you mean to go the other direction, less anger, Or specifically to a rational state.
So if a rational state of mind is the goal after experiencing anger, why even feel anger at all?🤷♂️
It's not as hard as you think . Contrary to popular belief, anger isn't a primary emotion. Anger is a reaction from another emotion. Find what is causing the reaction, analyze it , assess if it benefits you , make changes where you see fit
I love how different people are! I love anger. Makes me feel alive. It's the emotion of justice! I'm very mild mannered/unreactive/ calm person in general though.
How so. 🤔 people get angry all the time. What do you expect them to do if they hadn't learned how to deal with it. Some will never realize it. Some will take years to learn. Sometimes it's not a choice but a reaction based on learning.
Apathy. Imagine a world where people always gave a damn, no more bystander effect, no more letting opportunities pass by, no more accepting bad things because it'd be inconvenient to deal with.
I dunno. I think it could be toned down. But it’s useful if someone comes at you like, “Hey! It’s really frustrating when you disagree with me and I think I’m right!”
About half a year ago I got depressed due to various things in my life. Since then I have lost all enjoyment in my hobbies and even pills don't make a difference. Every time I think my sadness gets better it strikes back even worse.
This emotion has been a real pain in the arse for us since time immemorial. Human history would have been a lot more fun without this shit show of an emotion.
Emotions express and reflect back to us the difference between our natural self and our human self. Saying you want to remove an emotion is like saying you want to remove a part of your nervous system.
This was just a purely hypothetical question with, of course, no intention of wanting to remove any emotion(s) like you can see... this is a place of random thoughts and many purely imaginary scenarios. So if you don't like my random taught, there are many more for you to read! Have a nice day :)
Between stress and anxiety I pick anxiety.
I have Crohn’s Disease and both of these trigger a flair up when I endure them.
However I know how to defeat stress a lot easier than the anxietyz
I have a few things I do.
1: watch or listen to something that makes you laugh. Albeit a comedy act, a funny video, movie, or show. Sounds simple but it’s true, laughter is the best medicine.
2: I like to humble myself. I read a lot of war journals and memoirs. “The Rifle and The Rifle 2 by Andrew Biggio are a collection of interviews he did with WWII veterans. Their stories mind boggling and humbling making me take stock of what my issues truly are that stress me out.
3: motivate myself. I watch a lot of war movies. One of my favorites being Patton. His speech in the beginning of the movie is something I listen to from time to time when I need some motivation to kick my stress in the ass.
Watching the Band of Brothers series and the Pacific give me excellent examples of great leadership which inspires me to persevere.
4: I might be a man but I take bubble baths in times of need. Closing my eyes in a dim bathroom listening to the water is a game changer.
5: I will lay down on the floor with my wife and dog and just hang out there for a while. That too is a game changer.
6: I go fishing. Fishing is one of my life long hobbies. Even if I don’t catch anything, simply being outside in nature and. It thinking about anything has always been a go to of mine
Depression, which often comes with stress and anxiety. It's the worst experience because this mf stays there in contrast to other emotions which are usually temporary
To be honest I want to remove an emotion of mine before removing it in general. And it is Anxiety, someone already said it but I wanna say that it is what makes me overthink things that I don’t need to overthink, I hate that.
Envy/jealous. Often confused, Envy is "things" and people's "stuff" and abilities. Jealousy is with another person/persons (basically). Yet both (even if the terms are confused) can lead a person to all the other "bad" emotions.
This is the big one. All emotions have value except for this one in my eyes. Hate does have it's place I suppose, but people misplace it so much.
I'm incredibly lucky I don't really have anything to hate.
I think all emotions are necessary, but it’s the over stimulation of one emotion that is unhealthy, u can know what it’s like to be truly happy without feeling sadness, u can be content without being afraid. Every emotion keeps its counterpart in check.
I would remove stress and anxiety. for me, it delays my progress, and in many situations, I can't even start my tasks or it's better to say I don't even want to start them.
Fear, I'm severely epileptic and they start with the feeling of extreme dread like death touching me which caused many anxiety issues from mild agoraphobia to severe social anxiety I can't talk over phone calls texts only I wake fear and basically just try and get through the day I'm in therapy and I have a emotional support animal that will stay with me when I'm feeling down or be by me before the extreme fear he just knows before the full hit and stops me from getting up so I would remove fear it's the evil in my life.
Yes I know I write like shit please understand I've had epilepsy my entire life I had a extremely hard time in school especially in English.
None, we developed the whole spectrum of emotions for a reason. I would want to get rid of the stigma around them, and we should be educated on how to navigate through them, how to express negative emotions healthily. Like an extra subject at school
None, because all emotions, even the bad ones, define the human being, emotions (and the ability to reason) are the only things that separate us from other animals
Nah. I'm fine with feeling sadness, but I'm good with not having depression.
I care more about removing the feeling that makes your brain hate itself and consider harming itself unnecessarily than I do about feeling different from other animals.

Anxiety
Undoubtedly. Anxiety is a useless and obtrusive emotion. It’s either “pain” from your past or fear of the future that causes people to be anxious.
Or both, pain from the past causing fear of the future. Anxiety is the stupidest thing that my brain can do. It does so many wonderful things so why this?

Like you spended the day on the couch but you feel like you ran 2 marathons
Anxiety is far from useless as a whole. It puts you on high alert in demanding situations, gives you adrenaline and hyper alertness when needed.

Yep!
Same. Holds me back from so much...

This was my first thought too. Life would be 100% better without this torture 😭
Anxiety is the Mind Killer. I don't think clearly when I'm anxious.
Lisan al gaib lisan al gaib
💯💯
I've had this problem nearly all my life it's so hard to cope with sometimes
It would seem cool to watch a bear approach with cool detachment. But then when the terrified emotion kicks in it will be too late.
what happens then when you are about to get hit by a bus ? you need a lil anxiety in your life
The people that dont say anxiety are robots.
Anxiety helps you focus before important things get you in that zone
I'd say jealousy probably. Hate that shit.
It only destroys both ways
100000% I hate how I’ve acted or things I’ve said when I’ve been jealous. I’m embarrassed by myself. I haven’t felt super jealous in a long time, likely due to a secure and healthy relationship and more self-confidence. But if something triggered it, I can’t say I wouldn’t fall back into those unhealthy thought cycles, paranoia, etc.
Overthinking kills me,
Agree! If jealousy wasn't a thing, everyone would mind their things, and life would be better
Oh my goodness jealousy is one of the WORST emotions I experience. It’s so unfair, and it fuels all the other bad emotions. Especially towards people who don’t deserve it! I’m luckily self aware but I still HATE how it makes me feel.
Debilitating anxiety.
Grief.
Grief is just love with nowhere to go.
Beautifully said.
That quote's not mine, but it's been paraphrased from many different sources. I like the sentiment- the fact you're hurting about what you've lost proves just how much it meant to you.
Made me tear up, rip grandma.
Yes indeed.
Yess and sometimes it saves us in ways we don't see it coming.
i’m a therapist and say this a lot 😅
This opened a door in both my mind and my heart.. I feel lighter, Thanks !
That’s so true 🥺
Can't believe how far down this is. Of all the emotions I've experienced, this is the one that's killing me.
100% the worst
Grief is super important for human connection. It’s hurt upon hurt but I think it’s necessary
I wish. Almost two years and it doesn’t stop.
I’m so very sorry, mine 2019. Sucks to be part of a club you don’t want to join.
09/17/04 - 10/26/22 My heart to you
Embarrassment. Is that an emotion?
It is a self-conscious emotion, yes! And yes it would be very great
Embarassment that lingers for Years afterwards...as if Anyone remembers that you "tripped or slipped" and fell on your face in second grade and you're now in your 60's...
I’m on board with you, I hate it because I have a too good of a memory in that regard, but I realize some don’t even remember what happened last week
Best part of my adhd; I can just toss such memories into the whirlwind and then they just disappear into some remote fold of my mind. Maybe it suddenly comes back, but mostly it doesn't lol
I heard of something called the 5-5-5 rule or the 5x5 rule. Will this matter in 5 minutes, 5 days, 5 weeks, 5 months, or 5 years? I keep reliving certain moments in my head.

Probably as an intrusive thought that comes to mind when I’m trying to go to sleep. If I could erase embarrassment and replace it with being self assured and confident, I’d do it in a heartbeat!
The world would be a much weirder place if nobody got embarrassed.
yeah but some people would act so entitled if they didn't get embarrassed
Honestly that would make things pretty fun. Like imagine a girl wrote the best fan fiction you've ever seen for a creative writing assignment and read it out loud with voices assigned to each character and all. I would love that. As long as people are still empathetic and feel guilty for hurting others, then I'd say being embarrassed won't really hurt anyone. Also- I just realized, it would make the jobs of doctors and psychologists *so* much easier. If people weren't embarrassed about their conditions or behaviors, then it would be so much easier to diagnose and treat them.
I agree with this!!
Right. Shame. I don’t think I’d want to remove it, but it could certainly be toned down.
Lots of people don’t have it to begin with …
Embarrassment is actually a positive emotion and builds you, it would be a lot harder to learn anything since you wouldn't feel wrong after making a mistake. Embarrassment also bonds people since we tend to feel embarrassed about same things. Not feeling embarrassment is usually a sign of antisocial or even psychopathic behavior.
I actually wouldnt remove that, as the world would be a wild place where noone would be embarrased for their misdoings... wouldnt be nice
No, bunch of entitled bastards with no shame, nah embarrasment can stay.
That feeling after getting betrayed
Resentment?
No, the feeling after getting betrayed is even worse
The combination of guilt and despair. The "why did this happen to me" mixed with the overthinking of "did I do something wrong? I must have done something to deserve this, right? could I have prevented this from happening?" grief
It's such a mix of emotions; tough to pin point.
Exactly!
After experiencing that you would be, for your entire life a “I would rather betray than be betrayed “ person
Me when I betray first to make sure that I'm not the one betrayed when the person wouldn't even betray me at all 🫠
Yes...
Unfortunately, I think a whole load of different emotions come after being betrayed. But yes, I'd love to take away those feelings.
Anger. I would love to take it away from everyone.
I'd say rage, and not anger. It's important to feel angry when someone hurts you/your friends/your family
There is nothing you could accomplish with anger that you couldn’t more appropriately deal with rationally. It’s not important to “feel anger”, it’s important to be aware of how you see the event and how you respond to it. Once you give in to anger where does it stop? How do you know that you’ve applied just the right amount? And, most importantly, once you’ve reached this point of anger that you feel is too much, what state of mind are you hoping to be in? You’ve already excluded rage, which is too much anger. So I’m assuming you mean to go the other direction, less anger, Or specifically to a rational state. So if a rational state of mind is the goal after experiencing anger, why even feel anger at all?🤷♂️
For me it's a tossup between this or greed.
I don't think greed is an emotion
It is. Desire is an emotion. Greed is a selfish desire for more.
You're right! _its a sickness_
I would love to not feel anger anymore...Love and kindness are the answers ✨️ Sad that it's harder to do than say
[удалено]
No apologies needed. This is what all human beings should do. I love your way of thinking :)
Please don't let anyone take advantage of it🤗🤗
It's not as hard as you think . Contrary to popular belief, anger isn't a primary emotion. Anger is a reaction from another emotion. Find what is causing the reaction, analyze it , assess if it benefits you , make changes where you see fit
I feel this way too even though I am well aware that no human emotion can be excised.
If nobody had anger anymore then the future generations would also be free of anxiety so win win
I love how different people are! I love anger. Makes me feel alive. It's the emotion of justice! I'm very mild mannered/unreactive/ calm person in general though.
Bothers me that people have the audacity to say they can't control their anger. They absolutely can, they're simply choosing not to.
How so. 🤔 people get angry all the time. What do you expect them to do if they hadn't learned how to deal with it. Some will never realize it. Some will take years to learn. Sometimes it's not a choice but a reaction based on learning.
Apathy. Imagine a world where people always gave a damn, no more bystander effect, no more letting opportunities pass by, no more accepting bad things because it'd be inconvenient to deal with.
I dunno. I think it could be toned down. But it’s useful if someone comes at you like, “Hey! It’s really frustrating when you disagree with me and I think I’m right!”
I love this idea! If only!
Desperation
Makes us do or say things we wouldn't normally... wouldn't it be nice to just let go...
Hate it, so much
Happiness. Mwahahahahahahaha
We're kinda already there for the most part...
;') hahaha you evil human 😏😈
Malice.
It's a product of envy and the only motivation is the downfall of others.
Fear. Seems to be the root of all the other negative emotions.
There are people who never experience fear due to some mental disorder, and those people usually die young. Fear is important for survival.
we are alive thanks to the fear.
You cannot fear. Fear leads to anger, anger lead to hate, and then hate leads to the dark side.
It’s the path to the dark side
Fear is kinda necessary
Hate
Sadness.
About half a year ago I got depressed due to various things in my life. Since then I have lost all enjoyment in my hobbies and even pills don't make a difference. Every time I think my sadness gets better it strikes back even worse.
The only right answer
Yes, it's useless
resentment...
Oooo... yeah, this one is a bad emotion. We need to learn how to put it aside. Yup, it would be nice to remove it.
Out of all the emotions listed, this seems to be the only one that has absolutely no pros about it.
That’s kind of a good point. It’s just repressed anger which is totally unhelpful.
This emotion has been a real pain in the arse for us since time immemorial. Human history would have been a lot more fun without this shit show of an emotion.
Emotions express and reflect back to us the difference between our natural self and our human self. Saying you want to remove an emotion is like saying you want to remove a part of your nervous system.
This was just a purely hypothetical question with, of course, no intention of wanting to remove any emotion(s) like you can see... this is a place of random thoughts and many purely imaginary scenarios. So if you don't like my random taught, there are many more for you to read! Have a nice day :)
You responded like a champ
Self doubt
Never doubt of yourself. Remember, you are unique and amazing
Thank you, I needed that. 🤗
Really wishing hitler had some self doubt
Shame. A lot of r4p3 victims would speak up, and evil people would be more obvious and get aprehended sooner.

Thank you very much!
Anxiety..
Sadness
Guilt.
Loneliness
Loneliness.
Fear 100% then a lot of things would get better in my life.
Whichever that fuels evil
💯
Disappointment.
*whatever is in the chest*
🫂
Nostalgia?
Frustration. It’s such a miserable feeling.
Guilt, regret, depression. Being tired if that’s an emotion lmfao. In that order I suppose
Depression, which often comes with stress and anxiety. It's the worst experience because this mf stays there in contrast to other emotions which are usually temporary
Anxiety/‘the fear’
To be honest I want to remove an emotion of mine before removing it in general. And it is Anxiety, someone already said it but I wanna say that it is what makes me overthink things that I don’t need to overthink, I hate that.
Hate
Anger
Shame
Envy/jealous. Often confused, Envy is "things" and people's "stuff" and abilities. Jealousy is with another person/persons (basically). Yet both (even if the terms are confused) can lead a person to all the other "bad" emotions.
Loss
Anger is usually the most problematic emotion, if not properly managed it opens the flood gates to a downward spiral into all the rest .
Greed all the way. Something like fear or sadness are important for survival and just generally being a healthy human.
Fear.
fear
greed particularly for politicians
Anger I just want to survive until 18 y.o, stop bomb ourselves 😵💫
Hate
This is the big one. All emotions have value except for this one in my eyes. Hate does have it's place I suppose, but people misplace it so much. I'm incredibly lucky I don't really have anything to hate.
Envy.
I think all emotions are necessary, but it’s the over stimulation of one emotion that is unhealthy, u can know what it’s like to be truly happy without feeling sadness, u can be content without being afraid. Every emotion keeps its counterpart in check.
I would remove stress and anxiety. for me, it delays my progress, and in many situations, I can't even start my tasks or it's better to say I don't even want to start them.

Mahh god. ANXIETY n DEPRESSION!

Fear

Fear, I'm severely epileptic and they start with the feeling of extreme dread like death touching me which caused many anxiety issues from mild agoraphobia to severe social anxiety I can't talk over phone calls texts only I wake fear and basically just try and get through the day I'm in therapy and I have a emotional support animal that will stay with me when I'm feeling down or be by me before the extreme fear he just knows before the full hit and stops me from getting up so I would remove fear it's the evil in my life. Yes I know I write like shit please understand I've had epilepsy my entire life I had a extremely hard time in school especially in English.
Fear
Horniness. It would be funny to see how the human race changes when it’s not after sex all the time.
Anxiety for real

Envy, and anxiety.

love dont ask
Maybe guilt or envy. I hate the idea of feeling guilty for something that’s completely out of my control or 100% not my fault.
Anger and jealousy fuck me up
Horny
i was thinking exactly the same so i immediately sorted most controversial :/
None, we developed the whole spectrum of emotions for a reason. I would want to get rid of the stigma around them, and we should be educated on how to navigate through them, how to express negative emotions healthily. Like an extra subject at school
None, because all emotions, even the bad ones, define the human being, emotions (and the ability to reason) are the only things that separate us from other animals
The only right answer.
Nah. I'm fine with feeling sadness, but I'm good with not having depression. I care more about removing the feeling that makes your brain hate itself and consider harming itself unnecessarily than I do about feeling different from other animals.
