Worst Emotion

[J Santos]

Hello all,

was just curious as to which emotion/feeling you all thought was the worst/most overpowering to receive from another individual.

Mine is: Dissapointment

I feel that all other emotions have a sort of "state of being," by which I mean that if, for instance, a person is angry, sad, upset, fearful, depressed, etc, then it has a sort of build up associated with it, even if its very swift. I don't think this kind of build up exists with dissapointment... it's more of a radical and dramatic shift between a "high" anticipation and a very low realization of "failure."

[SilverMaiden]

Mine is what I call "emotionally empty". It's the absence of any emotion. I've come across it a few times, but it scared me.

[Astara Seague]

hate pure unadultraed hate! for me is the worse
also jealousy and sadness hopelessness is up there too

[KeelinConvallaria]

Thankfully, I haven't come across too many negative emotions. But the one I have that was the worst would have to be hate.

[LostSheep]

Jealousy is the one i have least control over myself, but as for feelings I get from others, when I feel negative emotions it's mostly just a kind of wave of negativity - like a vague, anxious feeling - which just makes me feel generally unpleasant.

[Pesha]

Hate, is my worst. It physically hurts me to feel it. Hate is a terrible thing.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking here. Are you asking about emotions related to, or directed at, you? Or are you asking about the experience of emotions of others that people, perhaps yoursef, just "pick up" empathetically - emotions that are in the whole atmosphere of people who are feeling negative emotions?

Speaking for myself, when anything like resentment, anger, disappointment has been directed toward me it has felt very, very different from a general atmosphere of negative emotion that has nothing in particular to do with me.

Just general that you pick up from others, not necessarily directed at you...

Actually I should amend my original emotion to clarify:

Dissapointment in oneself...

[fafonen]

Depression and regret. I have a friend with clincal depression and it's one of the worst feelings I think I've ever come across.

[Jolixte]

Self-loathing. I've never been around anyone experiencing a worse emotion then that.

This one scares the crap out of me. When I come across this, I become sick to my stomach.

And when someone is feeling so sinister and dark, that one scares me too. Mostly because I see these people with my eyes and you probably can't tell just by looking at them the darkness and hate they have coursing through them. When I feel that, my chest tightens like I am being suffocated. Its like I am feeling what they are feeling, but my body is trying to push it back out.

[LadyCelt]

proably self hate and disaapointment. I can tell with a few people if they could at any minute literally attempt to take their life. Suicidal feelings and self hatred are really hard to go trhough from someone.

[Sun Sprite]

any feelings of anger by anyone, even on a tv show.

I noticed some mentioned hate, I guess I view hate as a form of anger, usually anger at one's self, something they don't like about themselves. Or it can be a way of life that is all they know (especially in young kids).
Better days,

I refuse to rank my emotions, since they are all the same. They are all emotions, they are all products of my mind. If I were to say "this one is more important than that one" or "this one is better than that one" then I give into the trap that is my thinking mind. I get caught up in wanting this, and not wanting this. Jumping around like a monkey from one thing to another, based on my preferences, never learning to be satisfied with what I already have.

"Bad" emotions are wonderful things because they challenge us to grow and evolve in ways that "good" emotions never can. Good emotions get us addicted, and then we always seek out pleasant experiences like a junkie. It's through the unpleasant feelings that we learn to be brave, patient, and grow to be wise and compassionate human beings. How wonderful!

[Silver Water]

I think that the worst emotion I've ever felt from another person is rage. Not anger, but true rage where they aren't even thinking of anything but what they can do to hurt whatever hurt them as badly as they can. It is a very frightening thing to feel. It's even worse if that emotion is directed towards you.

[LadyAriana]

Malintent. I don't know if this is a word, but when someone is plotting the demise of someone either actually or "wishing they'd be hit by a truck", it gives me a creepy cold feeling in my stomach.

[Sage Rainsong]

Doubt. I absolutely HATE doubt.

[Xerenity]

I don't like the way another's anxiety and frustration feels to me. I end up feeling rush and pushed around. Being an Emotional Vampire for the majority of being an empathy, I can understand the way others' emotions drive them regardless if I feel the wave of energy they emit. I can just watch their bodies and minds for the "signs", so I can protect myself.

[SSanf]

The worst I have ever felt was mourning at my mother's death.

Next on the list would be jealousy.

[ReinaB]

Depression from others gets right into me. They don't have to say a thing, I just know and it brings me down. I only have two connections, thankfully. One, though, is lessening his connection on purpose, so lately I can't tell how he is.

[Philosophia]

Uninhibited rage. I've felt it a couple of times from some people, and it has scared me. Its like dipping your hand in an extremely hot fire that it can consume a person and not being able to pull away from it.

For myself, I hate it when I feel empty and on automatic robot. Its when I'm at my lowest.

[Earthy]

I would definitely say the empty feeling inside is the worst.

[Contra Mundum]

fear ,definately fear for me.

[Wiccanizer]

I would have to say it's a tossup between hate and despair.

[Autumn-Forest]

I'd have to say-bad butterflies, the feeling that you maybe in horrible trouble, feeling helpless and alone. Not so much sorrow, but depression is icky too. :/

love, light, peace, blessings,
Autumn

[Incendia]

hate pure unadultraed hate!...

I agree with you totally on this one! People who project this type of emotion tend to be inwardly ugly in general. They're usually very immature too.

[ajna]

defeat and stagnation with these emotions (which often come together) there is so much self directed anger and depression. One guy I know is at a turning point in his life and he feels this quite often. He is also one of those people who -- empathic or not -- everyone can pick up on. A transmitter if you will. His emotions are quite strong. You can walk into the house and become depressed if he is.

[CrystalShadow]

It might be because of the people I talk to but depression get's to me the quickest. I'm ultra sensitive to it.

[frigga]

I don't like empathy as a mother. My youngest daughter has alot of digestive problems that cause her alot of pain. It's pure torture for me to sit with her, giving her reiki and trying to make her feel better, and feeling her pain and frustration. I feel so helpless,sad,and useless. I want to take it all away and it just isn't possible at times...

[Aleannah]

rage and hopelessness...those are the worst for me, because they trigger my own emotions and physical reactions....

[SkySilver]

Anxiety would have to be mine... :ugh:

[tears_of_ashes]

For me it would have to be a sense of Love (althought the one in love wasn't being loved) That was an awkward one for me.

[~*Woodrose*~]

mine is wen ppl r realli sad or disappointed about something
thats the worst it feels as tho someone has just slit u with a knife

[sweetfairy]

the worst feeling for me is disconnection.. when i am connected i feel happy or other feelings.. but disconnected i feel not wanted not loved not even needed.. this is a far more worst fate to me ..
