If you can't control an emotion, it is not yours. You are in control.

About This Quote

People often say that if you can't control an emotion, you're not in control. In reality, though, emotions are a signal from your body. When your body sends a message to your brain that something needs to change, that's the emotion. If you don't listen to it, it will take over and make you feel very angry or upset.

So, it's possible to be out of control of your emotions, but the emotion itself is not a result of a problem with you. It's a problem with your body communicating.
