Sociopath Community

In others, probably panic.

I'm glad I don't feel sympathy, it sounds like a burden.

Serious questions I've been holding onto for a while:

What emotion do you find the hardest to comprehend or understand?

Which emotion annoys you the most in others?

Are there any that you are thankful for not experiencing? (All of them is not a valid response)

• Is regret an emotion?
• Fear
• I'm not thankful. Is it so bad to be deeply human?

What emotion do you find the hardest to comprehend or understand?

In others, none of them are really confusing. Theater and psyche alongside microexpressional study reinforce them pretty hard.

In myself? Anger is pretty confusing, but mostly because it doesn't behave like it's supposed to.

Which emotion(s) annoys you the most in others?

Shame and contempt.

Are there any that you are thankful for not experiencing?

Other people make sadness look really debilitating.

Your last answer would be the same as mine if it were the other way around. I wouldn't be thankful but I attribute that to my personality and need to satisfy my own curiosity. Some have mentioned they view not experiencing certain things as a strength and that was why I added the last question. 

Regret is an emotion according to the Plutchik wheel of emotions: http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/Plutchiks-Wheel-of-Emotions

Thanks for the response 

 I don't view not being able to experience certain things, like emotions- a strength. Experiencing them fully, and facing them sober- still able to appreciate all of it. That's real strength, Hun. :)

What emotion do you find the hardest to comprehend or understand?

Debilitating empathy.  It blows my mind the length that some "normal" people will go to for other people's happiness (typically to their own detriment).

Also, I kind of agree with SensitiveSoul.  To me, closeness is the opposite of aloofness or coldness.  I have trouble grasping the bonds that seemingly tie others together.  My friends come and go - but I'm always sure to make more.  It doesn't concern me.  I don't necessarily like it, but I'm used to it - though a part of me does yearn at times for an complete upheaval of my social circles.

Which emotion annoys you the most in others?

Irrational anxiety and debilitating empathy.

Are there any that you are thankful for not experiencing? (All of them is not a valid response)

Irrational anxiety and debilitating empathy.  I don't mean to be repetitive, but it's true.  The things that annoy me the most are the things I don't experience myself nor understand.

Wow. I've never looked at it that way. You just got an emotional response out of me for that but I may be hormonal idk. ;) 

Yeah. Every once in a blue moon, I decide to show my age and the wisdom that I've drawn from my experiences. lol

I know from my own experiences, a lot of the emotions that are dulled for me I envy others for being able to feel so freely. It looks liberating.

The emotion I find the hardest to comprehend or understand is love.

The emotion that annoys me the most in others is sadness. Listening to someone crying can be irritating.

The emotions I'm thankful for not experiencing are anxiety, embarrasment, guilt and remorse. I could add love to that list as well since it seems to make people vulnerable.
