Powerful/Strongest emotions

[PAche]

i was just wondering what the title says, happened that i'm bored so decided to start this thread.

mine was fear - i stayed back in school for some project with my friends and when we were done, we didn't feel like going home so we decided to check out this extra classroom next to ours.this classroom was smaller than the normal one.it so happened that it was about sunset then.this pic is a rough sketch of my school:
[IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/sockbone/school.jpg[/IMG]

my friend then suggested we arrange the tables in the room in a circle and we sit inside and take turns telling the scariest ghost stories we knew.like i said, we were bored and didn't want to go home yet so we agreed.what was better to pass time than listen/telling ghost stories?plus, the room was dark and where there was light, it was orangey red cos of the sun, creating a perfect stage.just imagine 8 girls sitting inside a circle created by desks talking in hushed voices in a small room that glowed firey light.

anyway, when it was my turn to tell the story, i told them but halfaway through, right at the climax, we heard this ooh-ing ghost sound.i thought it was one of the other girls so i looked around at their faces.i found them looking at each other too in this startled manner.obviously no-one in the room made that sound.we looked at the doorway where the sound was coming from and saw no shadow under the door.within 2 seconds, all this happened and since it was a ghost story telling session, all we could think of was "ghost".so we started screaming our heads off and bunched up at the furthest end of the circle of tables.the screaming continued till the door opened and another friend's face peeked in.

turned out that girl was somewhat pissed that we left her out and decided to prank us.we laughed then but after that, no-one wanted to hear anymore ghost stories for the day :D although some of them claimed they weren't frightened...

liars.lol

how old are you and why is this in the anime section.

Pranks are funny when it's something small like that. ^^

The strongest emotion I've ever felt though was anger. My family isn't that tight and at times things can get a bit rough. Though, that's all I can really say here. ^^;; heh. I just hope nobody ever has to go through the experiences my sisters and I had to with my mother.

[SIZE=1]Fear is often a strong emotion, however I find it's easy to overcome after devloping a plan of action against it. In other words, facing what you fear the most helps to abolish the fear so that it no longer burdens you. The strongest emotion I've ever felt is love, which I'm suprised no one has said yet lol. Love is by far the strongest emotion one person can feel towards another. Yes, hate can be strong as well, but hate could never match the original feelings you had for that person. Would you really be that angry if you hadn't lost something so important to you in the first place?[/SIZE]

[sakurasuka]

[CENTER][SIZE=1]Mine would probably be anger. Not hate, just anger. My family is so screwed up in the head, it's hard NOT to be mad at them sometimes. Before I was old enough to realize, my dada decided he didn't want me and he left my mom. My dad then got married to a woman who'd just had a kid 10 minutes before I was born, and my mom got married to a high school friend. Both parents had more kids.

My step dad doesn't hate me, he loves me alot. Still, I'll never have as much of a bond with him, because he seems to... Favor my little brother. All of his side of the family is the same. On every side of the family, I am thought of as the mistake. The kid that wasn't supposed to happen. The 'Accident'. I hate it. The only family member that treats me like a person is my mother.

I don't have many friends IRL. It's not because I'm mean or bitter (My step dad sent me to anger management whe I was 8-12 to make sure of it) It's because my family won't let me. They are over-protective (Not a bad thing) But it's gotten to the point where all I can do is work, school, and babysit. They pulled me out of public school to homeschool me. My only friends are my neighbors and the people I work with.

I love my family, but they just make me so confused and upset. I don't cry anymore, it's not worth it.[/SIZE][/CENTER]

Probably hatred. That or fear. I am very often afraid of.. everything. The reason I say hatred, and this may sound a little childish, is because of my brother's best freind, Zach. I don't even know why I hate him so much, but whenever he comes near me, even if we're on good terms, I feel overwhelmed with hatreed. I mean, I don't even think he's that bad of a kid. He doesn't do bad things, he isn't particularly mean, I just can't stand him! I think its because I see him as my equal. Both of us are equal in hight, equal in strenght, equal in skill, we tie up in most video games, its like we're ultimate rivals.

[Aura_Star]

The srongest emotion I ever felt, well let's see. Mine would probley be anger, the hate kind. I have to incedents of my anger coming out. I'm not a very violent person and it takes alot to make me so mad that I would actually do something.

The first time was in sixth grade, gym class. We were playing flag tag and all of a sudden this girl starts singing, the on top of my spagitti song, which I find the most annoying thing in the world. I asked her stop and she does to most kindergarden thing. She replies with, "Make me." I was a little ticked off because I got my flag stolen in the game and plus it was like 90 degrees and I'd been running so under mt breath I said, "If I had a knife I would." She rolled her eyes and left I also moved. A minute later she has a friend with her and they're bothe singing the song right behind me. I moved again and she got two more friends and they find me and start singing the song. I walk over to my firends and talk with them for a few minutes and next thing I know there they are. There were about seven of them now and they were singing. I broke turned tried the kick the main girl and missed she runs and tells the teacher that I kicked her. Which I didn't and when I missed I didn't even hit her any of her friends. The teacher called my over, luckly for me I was the teacher's pet. When she relized that I wasn't going to get in trouble for kicking her she brought up the threat that I said at the very begining.

Now if I was her I would of told right away rather than bothering me over and over. The thing was I didn't even know her, which I find just plain retearded. I got written up talked with the assistent princpal, who I pleaded my side of the story with. Of course like everytime I'm not heard out. I told my mum about it when I got home so that she wouldn't be to suprised. She thought the girl was in the wrong so she bitched to the ap and told the ap that the girl needed punishment too. As far I know she didn't and I got three days In School Suspetion(ISS).

The other time I snapped was on the bus just last year in eighth grade. THe boy I was sitting with was being a complte idiot about our seating agrrement. He wanted to sit on outside so he could talk with his friends in the seat across from us. I told him no because I got off the bus before him and my stop was the first one so he could last a few minutes with out talking to his firends. But, oh no the boy couldn't stand it. He bitched and wouldn't get in the seat. I finally gave up and sat on the inside. He then said something rude and that made me snap. I clawed the back of his neck and pulled a pen out of my backpack and stabbed him a few times in the arm with it. I made him bleed and cry. I didn't regreat what I did because I knew what I did was overdone. That time I didn't tell my mum and she still wasn't angrey when she heard about it. My punishment was that I was suspened from the bus for a week and had five days of ISS and if you can call it a punishment my seat was also moved.

Well those are my two events of intense anger. I think the second one was a whole lot worse but, I still hate that little b******.

[color=deepskyblue]I suppose awe, if you'd strictly speaking call it emotion. And I mean the kind of awe you might feel looking out at the Grand Canyon whilst listening to Holst's [i]Jupiter[/i], after spending thirty-one years in a small, grey room listening to Radiohead. When you see, hear, smell and feel something that just knocks the breath out of you, leaving you breathless and in tears. Now I'm getting all worked up, lol...[/color]

[Retribution]

[SIZE=1]I'm not exactly sure what my strongest emotion was. Either anger or determination (if that's an emotion).

I get worked up into severe fits of [B]anger and bloodlust[/B] when someone keeps messing around with me and I don't find it funny. It's a problem, to say the least. It's happened a few times when either a group was making fun of me, or someone was trying to fight me. In both instances, I would fight the aggressor until multiple people were holding me down. Once, I sprinted towards the guy and punched him in the stomach. He doubled over, and started to run, and in those seconds I wrested a stick from the ground (think King Arthur), and swung it forcefully towards his face. I stopped a few inches from it, gasping with hate, and threw the stick away. I'm just glad I stopped there...

And [B]determination[/B] when my teacher during a parent-teacher conference hinted that I may not get an A in his class all year (this was first quarter). I was really angry for a period of time, but channeled it into something more productive, and got As in his class the rest of the year.

Thinking about it now, my user name was changed when I was really pissed at one of my 'friends' from school.
Talk about Brutus.

[quote name='Kamuro']Love is by far the strongest emotion one person can feel towards another.[/quote]I don't think it so. I believe hate is stronger than love. It overwhelms, and consumes so many. That's why alot of people are saying their strongest emotion was hate/anger. Hate is stronger than love, because it can hurt so much more. While love can hurt the two in love, as well as a few of those surrounding, hate has killed millions. Every war waged was fueled by hate. The Holocaust, the Nazis, all of those were hate. Love, yes, love is powerful, but not as strong as hate. Love is constructive, and is contageous, but not nearly as much as hate.

Hate is stronger than love because of the fact its higest aim is to take another's life (ultimately, anyway). And when you reach the level of taking another human's life, I don't see how you can go any higher.[/SIZE]

[Oceanborn]

Hmmph. I don't remember really any emotions strong enough to be worth of remembrance.
*thinks* That sounded somewhat gay
*thinks* *adds* In the very asexual content of the *****n' word.
*thinks more* Whee, I'm emotionless. Geez. What a hollow and tungsten life haveth I been leading up to this very day, having not haveth a single great emotion. Lol.
*concludes* Therefore, the greatest possible emotion I probably had was the wonder of the astonishing truth of me having no emotions. Ouch. Right here'n'now.

[gwynva]

Anger was my strongest emotion. When one of my friends broke up with her boyfriend, he and his friends got drunk and bothered us, in fact it was not the ex-boyfriend, it was one of his friends that drove me crazy. Who is he to interfere anyways! He said so nasty things and behaved so idiotically that i just lost it. I don't even remember what exactly i said to him. All i know is that i was shouting and when i finished, i found myself standing in the middle of the road. I saw people looking at me, terrified. The boy was shocked and could not open his mouth which drove him crazy and the alcohol added to it he somehow managed to break his leg thanks to his anger. To tell the truth seeing the other people's eyes, i became afraid as well, as my mind was completely blank and I still do not remember what i said or did. But even on such a matter to be able to lose my control made me understand why people kill each other so easily. And honestly this is very annoying knowing what each human(including me part is quite frightening indeed) is capable of doing. All those crimes, tortures etc when we watch them on tv we think that we can never do such things. But when it comes to humans we should spell a "may be" in every situation as you never know what life would bring.

[MidoriWaterfall]

[SIZE=1]hmm................... my strongest emotion... I guess humor... the first day of 8th grade, I completely embarassed myself, even worse, I was [I]laughing[/I]... I was giving one of my friends my screen names for AIM and I write very small, one of the girl's friends said that "You write small, that's hot" I thought he said "odd" so I said "[I]You're[/I] odd." he then said something I can't remember, and I just start laughing, continuously... :animeblus [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR="#990033"][b]Retribution is right. Hate can be a stronger emotion infact it is possible to hate and love someone at the same time. That is a very strong mixed emotion. Although I would say I've felt anger and hate very strongly before...I'm going to have to go with..

Guilt. Everyone feels guilty sometime, but its the kind of guilt you have when you know you have to do something even though its going to hurt someone else. I don't mean guilty as in you cheat on a test and get an A+. I know I've felt guilty many times because I got something that one of my friends or someone close to me will never have. I've felt guilty when my friend lost her grandmother and mine was still alive. An example of deep guilt is moving away and leaving all your friends behind, that can make you feel sad and guilty. There's so many different kinds of guilt. Guilt also relates to envy in a way, but thats an emotion that I can't really say I've felt much.

Guilt is also part of Sorrow a.k.a Sadness. So I can say that being really sad, is one of the strongest emotions you can have. It's not as powerful as love or as strong as hate, but its something that we have all felt. This is a great thread, glad you decided to post this.

The strongest emotion I ever felt was anger. I still feel it, I feel hatrad towards my ex friends(backstabbers who destroyed my birthday) I feel hatrad towards my uncles and aunts who have been doing everything possible to make my life miserable. I hate teachers for not grading the work I gave them and then putting zeros on my papers.

[Farto the Magic]

Mine is strange. It started out where I liked this girl, so I did all these things to get her to like me. I spent time with her, I talked to her, I bought her gifts occasionally. For a few months. Then, for no reason she said she 'Just wanted to be friends.'

Tore my heart out and replaced it with a grenade.

Then it turned to sadness. Not crying. Pure, can't-sleep, can't-eat sadness. It was that way for quite a while. I just let the sadness churn. Its still there, but now its covered in resent. I used to like her, now I resent her. I can't cause her pain (I'm just too nice.) but I can show her that I dislike her greatly.

Sounds stupid, but there you go. The evolution of my emotion.

[size=1][color=slategray]My, we have a lot of angry people here on the OB. ^_~
Actually, the strongest and most confusing emotion I've felt would be love and hatred at the same time. There was a period in my life last year where I was going out with someone I had loved so much and for such a long time, and I was thrilled that he ever said yes in the first place. We had a pretty good relationship and I was pretty happy. But during last summer, I got into a huge fight with one of my closest friends. My boyfriend heard about it, and he was best friends with that particular friend I had fought with. He said he didn't like the way I had talked to her and he broke up with me because of it. Then later I found out that he liked her, and the only reason he had even gone out with me was because she asked him to. She hadn't wanted to see me lonely and depressed over him, so she had asked him to do it as a favor. So... as you probably know... that really hurt me. I still loved him a great deal, but I hated him at the same time because he had done that. I also wasn't to happy with her, either. But who cares, we aren't even friends anymore.
But now I am happy to say that I am finally over him, and I've found a much greater love for someone else, someone that actually loves me back for real. So for right now, love is the strongest emotion I am currently feeling. But that whole situation before will always hurt me deep down.

On the matter of whether love or hate can be a stronger emotion, I think it depends. And you know what? Love can be hate anyway. Because when you hate someone so much, you can talk about them and think about them constantly, therefore "obsess" over them. That can make love and hate equal in attention sometimes. Emotions and the way people react to them can be really messed up sometimes.[/color][/size]

[elfpirate]

[b][font=Comic Sans MS]I don't agree with Lix on the "hate can be love" issue. I know it's possible to hate someone you love and vice-versae, but it's not the same emotion.

What's the strongest emotion I've ever felt? Hmmm...

I believe that's a tie between:

1) Agony

and

2) A hateful desire for vengeance.

I can't claim that one was stronger than the other--they were entertwined pretty thickly, to be sure.
I can say, though, that without having experienced an intense love to begin with, those emotions would not have been so strong--so this agony and hateful vengeance were the direct result of the object of a very strong love being destroyed.

So-- though I don't think that hate and love are the same emotion, I know that one can bring out the other-- or magnify the other-- to an incomprehensible degree.

well it seems like the strongest emotion for most people here is...anger.lol.well i don't really like getting angry cos then you lose control.but fear, you can't help feeling scared, can you?it just happens.then again i guess anger is somewhat alike that.

originally i started this thread thinking of human emotions and what it makes us do.but now it seems like i helped a few people figure and learn more about themselves,which is good in a way.at least i [I]think[/I] its a good thing.if you're not happy on what you figured out then sorry -^_^- it was unintentionable

oh, and for those who don't like getting angry like me, here's what i do when i get really pissed.i ask myself:
- why am i angry
- who/what am i angry about
- is he/she worth getting angry over
- why am i even wasting my energy getting worked up over something worthless
- is he/she worth me even raising my hand (if i get angry enough to feel like strangling the b**ch)

and i end up deciding to ignore the person, or if its an object, get rid of it :D

[Guest Kakiyo41]

My strongest emotion would be botled up anger. Thats why I don't like to be friends with a lot of people they hurt me too much. Like say someone wants to fight me that has been bothering me lately i get so angry that the angry and hatred burst and I kick thei butt. :D The anger never goes away, its like a scar that stays with you forever. When I was in second grade I kicked two sixth graders butts becuase they were being idiots and they payed for it with a bunce of bruises. i was hilalrious :D Two sixth graders got their butts kicked by a second grader. :D :p :catgirl: :animeswea

[grecords]

I think heartbreak was the strongest emotion I've ever felt. Since It comes right after love where you're practically floating on clouds, you basically just start falling emotionally. It does hurt too, its called heartbreak for a reason as it feels worse than most other things and theres no real way to counter that pain. Eventually you shut down and then build yourself back up. For some it lasts a few days, whether they admit it or not, while for some it can last for months.

[Guest Jazzy Maraca]

Hatred.....which involves love of course...well maybe not.I care for my girlfriend a lot and likewise, but little communication, real talks ever happen.The reason for this is because she is either drunk or stoned and i mean this. its frustrating talking to her in such states. I just cant take her seriously. I hate it, but when she is not i really love her and if i ask her to choose which i dont have a right to, its changing the person of who she is.Wait a sec this is no agony aunt rubbish. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Screw it all. Im going to watch some serial experiments again. It might make sense the third time around and it will act as a distraction.

[size=1]Strongest emotion I've felt is guilt, if that counts. I tend to do stupid things, and sometimes people yell at me for it, and the guilt washes over and comes full force to me afterwards. If that doesn't count, I would say sadness.[/size]
