Try this one to see if you cannot MAKE yourself feel an emotion.

Try to become angry.  Not at anyone or anything  in  particular,  just
angry.  If  you  need  help,  try  remembering  the last time you felt
angry.  Remember how it felt.  Try to feel it now.

Now try to feel happy.  Just  happy  in  general.  Remember  the  last
thing  that made you feel happy.  Try to embody that memory now.  Feel
happy now.

(This is the wrong kind of newsgroup for these kinds of exercises.)

Now, don't tell me you can't choose to feel an emotion!
