I haven’t seen either of the Inside Outs; but the list of emotions for both seems to me to be massively and unreasonably restricted. ETA: also heavily biased towards the negative.
IIRC the writers of Inside Out were aware that the emotions featured in the film don’t really accurately portray the full range of emotions humans experience, but keeping keeping it limited to a small number of emotions just worked better for storytelling purposes.
My brain is operated by the lovechild of Anger and Sadness.
For me is a bi-polar bouncing between Anxiety and Ennui.
This flippin’ world and life generates endless Anxiety, but once you’ve burned all your fight/flight it drifts to the Ennui of “We’re all screwed.” Then, when your fight/flight kicks back in, the cycle resumes.
The problem is, IMHO, both are correct!
I suppose that depends on what story you’re telling.
Yeah, I havent
been really angry in a while.
why is there only one good emotion?
In the first Inside Out movie, the big revelation towards the end is that Sadness actually isn’t negative; her purpose is alerting others when Riley is emotionally overwhelmed and needs help. And while I don’t think it’s explicitly stated in the movie, Fear’s job is basically to protect Riley from danger.
I liked Herman’s Head better.
All very well; and of course the negative/unpleasant emotions have uses. But where’s Curiosity? Where’s Compassion? Where’s Comfort? Where’s Relief? Where’s Happiness (which no, is not the same thing as Joy?) Where’s Confidence? Where’s Anticipation? Where, even, is Love?
Oh, i definitely walked across the line between East and West Germany. It was right after the wall was torn down, and before they’d really combined, but I’m not sure that counts.
Ah, thank you! I’m in the state line club after all.
mmm
I’d say it counts. At the very least, it counts as an Other.
Yep. Curiosity is a big kid emotion, also.
Hooked up with several coworkers. Not at the same time. Unfortunately I married one of them.
I’m mostly geared towards Joy, and have been for a long time, but Anxiety has definitely been getting a workout in my mind in recent years.
Prejudice towards both Jews and Muslims is unfortunately persistent, but I’d say Muslims have it a bit worse, due to the long shadow still cast by 9-11.
Never had an affair with a coworker, although there’ve been some I thought very attractive, and also some from whom I got the impression that they’d have soon agreed to a fling, had I ever asked.
I enjoyed both of the Inside Out movies, but they definitely don’t include the full range of identifiable emotional options for your typical teenager.
I’d hooked up with a couple of folks in the theater scene, but the one that stands out most was a really cool prop mistress, whom I married twenty-three years ago.
I’ve crossed several municipal boundaries on foot. When I was still in school I had a part-time job at a company where the building was in the city of Annapolis, and most of the parking lot was not. Must have crossed over hundreds of times.
My on-foot state line crossings also add more town line crossings: Delmar, MD & DE, Reliance, MD & DE, and Texarkana, TX & AR.
I’ve had sex with multiple coworkers. I had a weekend job as a bartender. In the seventies. It was a gay bar. It would have been unusual if I hadn’t 
I got you beat. My first two marriages started as “sex with a coworker.”
I answered the sex with a coworker poll question, but choose not to discuss my answer.
Where’s the option for “My partner/spouse fell in love with me at first sight and relentlessly pursued me”?
