You can't control your emotions but you can control how you react to them.

You can though. Through training and discipline. The way monks do.

This is what control means though. You can't stop emotions from arising but you have some influence on how you react not only on emotions but how your react on emotional triggers too. It's highly difficult to learn though and it practically means that the desires that drive you now will be meaningless since they lose control over you.

Do you know what emotional intelligence is? You're talking about low neuroticism

My example fits your term better but it's just an example of what losing control does to you and my entire point is having some kind of control over your emotions which fits emotional intelligence just fine.

I just used it since it's one of the most common examples of extending the term "intelligence" beyond cognitive skills.

True.
My ocd ruins me. Completely obstructs productivity some days. I'm looking to CBT and some possible medicines with my doctor right now. Just graduated highschool and I won't make it through college if I don't contain this hindrance soon.
