Processing emotions

I only know what my feelings were/are about a specific situations DAYS later. And then get stuck with that particular emotion for days, sometimes even years...

Don't know whether you finished writing your post, if so, let me know!

I'm quite liking this thread - it's got me thinking. I''ve often tried to self-analyse about emotions. I refer to myself as like Data - sort of nearly human but missing some vital part.

The more I think about it, I don't seem to have any way to describe my emotions - I feel anger when I'm overloaded and when people create problems for me for no reason - but I cannot really say I feel any other emotion - I live in a sort of 'meh' state of 'not angry' ( anger/ ) mimmicing NTs and some might say I appear 'happy' but I'm really just fitting in with how I measure the situation and then selecting 'mode 6 user interface = smile' to match my surroundings - like an octopus changing its colour scheme. There's no emotion linked to it.

Is this common?

I like your way of describing emotions :-) 

It is largely similar for me. I, for example, have never had the emotion 'jealousy', and also only seem to know anger and it is bad. Straight through the roof. 

Other than that I have different modes. One for job interviews (find out quickly what they are looking for), one for groups (laugh a lot, and pray it ends soon), one for one-on-one contact (ask questions and get them to talk), etc.

Worked well for me until most of them went disfunctional...

Hmm it is confusing. It's like the difference between a white lie and a standard lie (a black lie?!) One has good intentions and the other is mean... well usually anyway.
