    Not the guy you replied to, but I’m both intrigued and horrified by the idea of having emotions working like that. Honestly haven’t even considered it.

    Thank you for this, it made me do a full stop and I am left confused.

      haha, how are you confused? you’ve never had an emotion elicit a response from you, like anger? did you ever just act on it and regret it later?

      or, have you ever actef on any emotion before giving it thought? believe it or not, people do this, and its really dangerous tbh

        Last time I had a proper surge of emotion I got angry that some stranger forcibly pushed me on public transport. I struggle enough standing on public transport with low grade cerebral palsy.

        I did not like emotionally responding like that one bit. Spent days trying to figure out why I got so upset by someone acting like an ass. Did not care for it. The idea of wanting to elicit that kind of emotion is just unfathomable to me. I prefer when everything is just kind of muted.
