I don't think there's such thing as "right" emotions. Your emotions are part of you. Learning to accept your emotions is an important part of learning to accept yourself. What you can change is how your emotions affect your behavior. For example, when you are angry, you can let your anger take over and "blow up". Or, you can talk it out and explain to people why you feel the way you do. Your emotions ARE valid, and it's okay to feel what you feel! Explaining your reasoning to others will hopefully lessen your emotions and help you reach a productive solution, rather letting the emotion stay bottled up inside of you because you don't feel it's the right emotion, which will only make you feel worse, and won't help the situation get any better.

Yes.. You can feel the right emotions at the right time. You can change it, if you wish to. Its just that you dont have to supress any of your emotions and there it is! You will have your natural emotion at the time.

No, you cannot change that - because emotions are neither "right" nor "wrong." You feel what you feel, and you cannot help that. Most importantly, what you feel is legitimate, regardless of how much logical sense it makes. Our emotions are not tied to our rationale, and we cannot take a logical approach to an emotional destination. You do feel the right emotions at the right time. Whenever you feel your emotions is the right time.

Of course, :) feeling the wrong emotions at the right time signifies emotional instability. It's like you were standing in a balancing platform and in order to change that it takes small sure steps like building your self confidence and a strong positive view of yourself :)

I think that you can change (or at least work on) your attitude in certain situations, which can in the end benefit your mood. For example, looking at the positives instead of the negatives can make a huge difference.

Speaking about your emotions out loud helps you focus on what is truly upsetting you. It can be very therapeutic.

I think you can do anything you set your mind too. There is a forum on 7 cups that talk about managing emotions that could help.

Yes you can, but first you need to listen to your self an reflect on those times when you feel like your emotions are not matching your experience. Maybe your current emotion, whether it mathces what's going on or not, is giving you a message on an important life issue you might want to work on. You can always start by asking "Why do I not feel the right emotions at the right time?" and possibly write down your answer to reflect on it later. I wish you the best.

Hmmm... there really is no such thing as "right emotion" actually ... how you feel is how you feel. Some of us need a little extra time to process through emotions.
