How can I learn to control my emotions when I don't even know what they are?

Emotions are born by circumstances , I think felling empathy for oneself is important , how a person in my own circumstances would normally react? It seems like a meaningless practice , but is good to remember that sometimes we are our own worst critics , and feeling for others result easier , therefore the likeliness of end up with an accurate answer of what our really feelings are

Think about the triggers you're facing in that situation. Once you feel a certain way you may be able to compare that to a prior situation resulting to a possible motive for your emotions.

Perhaps writing them down would help, listing the emotions as they come. So you can better understand what you're feeling. If you cannot pinpoint specific emotions in words maybe you could draw pictures to illustrate how you're feeling instead. Then from there understand where the emotions came from, like the trigger that caused it and then hopefully you can control your emotions better. :D

Deep breathing and meditation are always a good place to start. Also, distracting yourself by exercising,writing, doing hobbies, singing, dancing and things of that nature usually help me get in control of my emotions even when I'm not quite sure what those emotions are.

When you are experiencing a strong emotion, try to "look" at it inside your head. it sounds odd, but with practice you can become almost a bystander, watching your emotions from afar. By practicing this technique you can gain some distance from your emotions. Start with simple ones, like examining the feeling you experience when you pet a dog. Work up to examining stronger feelings, until you can take a step back from strong feelings also. When you reach this point, you may realize that you can choose your reactions to things. You don't have to let your emotions lead you around by the nose. This is also a good way to start learning how to identify your emotions.

Consult a counsellor or psychologist by telling them your behavior and the experiences you've had.They should be able to infer and give u the appropriate help you need. If not,you can ask others around you on your display of emotions

Emotional intelligence is a natural skill for some, but an acquired skill for most. Sometimes writing down your feelings, and sorting through them can be a helpful way to assess your emotions Talking with someone is always an extremely useful way to help learn what emotions you are feeling and how to control and deal with them.

Just by listening to them, try and understand what they want to feel, listen to them. Just like you listen to a teacher or a friend.

Force youself to keep yourself busy with something that would make u happy or at least distracted from ur emotions till u get used to it and it becomes normal.

The first step is to breathe in and out, and stay ourselves. Emotions are not a bad thing in itself, but sometimes we need to control them because of a specific situation, or because they are hindering our lives. Breathing in and finding peace helps us identify these feelings, and control them if need be.
