I have to go with Depression. I dont like the way my life is going on. I do get frustration and anger and envy other times but the more dominant emotion has to be depression.

All , all I feel all and many cases all together

''Non-metalheads'' also call what I listen to ''devil music'', case in point, my older sis and brothers

Like Bad English said, you feel all, if I was to answer today, I might say angry, 'cus I've been pissed all day lol. For the most part, I probably feel depressed, or regretful, or self-conscious (not quite sure what to categorize the last under).

But I'm only a moany bitch, so what do I know

Honestly I try to avoid focusing on negativity, but I suppose self-deprecation (more or less a combination of a few options in this poll) would be the most adamant. I hate my body and a lot of things about my personality - all of which I'm working on (and have been for quite some time).

I've probably had times where depression would be the answer to this question, but right now? Probably frustration... Just because most of the things stressing me out lately have to do with other people or factors outside of my control but still related to me enough that I feel like I should do something and not give up. It makes me feel like there's too many problems that I can't even imagine a solution to.

Most of the others don't phase me much. I get over guilt and shame pretty quickly and easily, and I see no point in regretting what can't be fixed or envying someone else... Anger and depression seem to go hand in hand with me though.

Maybe you shouldn't change those things... maybe those are the things that make you unique. Are you trying to change for others?

Been there... you just have to let it go... there will be a clear sign if the universe wants you to do something

They're things I personally dislike about myself, so I want to change them. Who I am is a reflection of who I want to be, not a mold of what others have made me. Or at least that's what we all like to tell ourselves, right?

In any case, I want to get in better shape so I feel better about my appearance. I want to work on some... questionable personality traits I see in myself that I don't like in others because I don't like hating myself.

wow... that's a totally awesome answer and about your body, i am skinny as a stick but i don't want to improve my body, i want everything to happen naturally. I am thinking about taking up cycling as my career so i will let my body be shaped up by cycling. I don't want to go to gym and force myself to what society considers to be good looking.

BTW you look way better than what you tell about yourself

@Grazzy: Your relationship with your parents are pathetic i guess, you mock about sinful deaths, here; inter coursing with negative emotions or sheer consequences.....are you really depressed? OR you' doing this because you wanna be cool or hog some attention or something?

hog some attention or something?

depression has been a part of my life before i even started listening to metal. and why would i want attention from people who live in different country. And i am not cool or trying to be, i am just authentic. If these answers doesnt solve your dilemma, i couldn't give two shits

Could probably agree with all/most of the responses already given. I was just listening to Anacrusis - Still Black due to its classic riffs of madness and the phrase "so meaningless" though without actually feeling so much of the despair I have in the past. Came into the poll expecting to choose "depression" but I can't really select one over all the others right now.

I'm often wanting to think more positively about just everything, generally... but I'm not succeeding at that half the time I want. Maybe I'll come back later & appreciate Graywizzard posts 4, 5, 6 some more... Good reading.

Maybe the question should be changed to " what are you feeling right now? " but then again emotions change right. Maybe "most authentic emotion" is the right word. Good to see that people experience such a vast spectrum of (negative)emotions.

Depression is not an emotion, though; perhaps you meant apathy, but even apathy is not an emotion but a state of mind, in my book

The only emotion out of these that I don't experience on a regular basis is anger, to be honest. Life has its ways of making you feel inadequate and I'm trying to get away from those pains as often as I can, through talking to others about their experiences.

I read in a blog that Depression is a primary negation emotion.

If you are a psychology student or something just ignore the link

If that's the official take, then I am indeed wrong

It all comes down to strike only one thing "Are you capable enough to pull yourself out"?. You know, there are lot of damn things in our mind that alters body environment. If you're good enough to kick negativity around, you tend to it clearly and enjoy the life. OR just bivouacked in depression and kill yourself. As simple as possible.

Doesn't depression stem from other emotions?

inter coursing ? Is that like different breeds of dogs coursing the same game?

I wonder what your market research and strategy reports look like
I'm sure the company you work for just likes to confuse their competitors and everyone around

Probably before I would answer this question with anger or frustration (my Metalstorm custom title used to be "Angry Atheist"), guess it was just typical teenage frustration and that "I hate this world" feeling that everyone gets sometimes when nothing seems to go right.

Right now I can't say I don't feel negative emotions when something bad happens, but I also don't dwell on them, so it's difficult for me to answer this.

You mellow down once you start becoming an adult eh?

Anger. no.
Depression. no no.
Guilt. sort of.
Regret. yes.
Envy. yes but i dont admit it.
Vulnerable. very.
Frustration. yes.
Shame. sort of.

Anger, Frustration, Depression, Guilt, Shame.


I'm a colourful person

Regret hits me sometimes. so many bad decisions I've made. but thats only a now and then kind off thing.

When I say "depression", I mostly think of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_depressive_disorder
but that's really narrow, so, indeed, I'm wrong.

Written by Milena on 07.08.2012 at 01:15
I'm wrong.

Eh, you just mixed up the diagnosis and the emotion - not really a big deal.

I think you forgot FEAR. The god of all negative emotions.
