You may have a tendency to envision the worst-case scenario no matter what the situation is, but that means you also probably have the best sixth sense out of all your friends.

You\u2019re also probably the \u201cmom\u201d friend; you\u2019re cautious, true, but it\u2019s just because you care, and you have a knack for looking out for the people you care about most.

Like Anger, you definitely have a temper, but it\u2019s just because you\u2019re overflowing with passion. You care so deeply about so many different things, and you\u2019re not afraid to speak up and stand your ground when you want to be heard. In fact, you can be utterly fearless, especially when you\u2019re sticking up for someone you love or advocating for something you believe in.

You\u2019re also confident; where some might hesitate, you\u2019re energetic and hotheaded enough to jump into action, so other people probably follow your lead. Just remember to vent your anger in a respectful way, and don\u2019t bottle it up; you\u2019re someone who needs to express your emotions when you feel them!","edit_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Understand-Your-Emotions"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Show-Emotion"}],"link_data":[{"title":"How to Understand Your Emotions","id":11021,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Understand-Your-Emotions","image":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/db\/Understand-Your-Emotions-Step-13.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Understand-Your-Emotions-Step-13.jpg","alt":"How to Understand Your Emotions"},{"title":"How to Show Emotion","id":1041644,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Show-Emotion","image":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c0\/Show-Emotion-Step-6-Version-4.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Show-Emotion-Step-6-Version-4.jpg","alt":"How to Show Emotion"}],"minimum":0},{"text":"You\u2019re Disgust!","meaning":"That doesn\u2019t mean you think everything is gross\u2014you just have high standards and most likely enjoy the finer things in life. You\u2019re also pretty decisive and know if you like something or if you really don\u2019t, which means you\u2019re not the type to quietly eat something at a restaurant even if it\u2019s made wrong; you\u2019ll speak up and get it fixed, because you\u2019d rather have a good experience. And that\u2019s totally fair!

All your friends know they can trust your word, because you mean what you say (and say what you mean). They also know they can trust your taste in just about everything from fashion to food, because you\u2019re sophisticated and have a knack for making great choices. Go you!","edit_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Understand-Your-Emotions"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Show-Emotion"}],"link_data":[{"title":"How to Understand Your Emotions","id":11021,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Understand-Your-Emotions","image":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/db\/Understand-Your-Emotions-Step-13.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Understand-Your-Emotions-Step-13.jpg","alt":"How to Understand Your Emotions"},{"title":"How to Show Emotion","id":1041644,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Show-Emotion","image":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c0\/Show-Emotion-Step-6-Version-4.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Show-Emotion-Step-6-Version-4.jpg","alt":"How to Show Emotion"}],"minimum":0},{"text":"You\u2019re Embarrassment!","meaning":"You might be on the shy side; you tend to enjoy familiar things more than things that are new and strange. Self-awareness is something you excel at. Some people don\u2019t really notice (or care) about how their actions affect others, but you\u2019re humble, thoughtful, empathetic, and care deeply about other people, which makes you a great friend!

And, because you\u2019re so self-aware, you rarely make the same mistake twice. You like to learn from your experiences and grow as a person, which is a great quality for anyone to have. Just remember not to let your embarrassment get the better of you or make you feel less than\u2014because you\u2019re fantastic exactly as you are.","edit_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Understand-Your-Emotions"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Show-Emotion"}],"link_data":[{"title":"How to Understand Your Emotions","id":11021,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Understand-Your-Emotions","image":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/db\/Understand-Your-Emotions-Step-13.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Understand-Your-Emotions-Step-13.jpg","alt":"How to Understand Your Emotions"},{"title":"How to Show Emotion","id":1041644,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Show-Emotion","image":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c0\/Show-Emotion-Step-6-Version-4.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Show-Emotion-Step-6-Version-4.jpg","alt":"How to Show Emotion"}],"minimum":0},{"text":"You\u2019re Anxiety!","meaning":"You\u2019re someone who\u2019s always prepared for the unexpected. You\u2019re cautious, but that\u2019s not always a bad thing! You just like taking your time and thinking things through before you make any big decisions\u2014which means you and any friends who are more impulsive probably balance each other out well. You\u2019re also super detail-oriented; you notice the little things and not just the bigger picture. You\u2019re hardworking and often successful because you believe in putting your all into everything you do!

You can definitely be prone to anxiety at times, but it\u2019s really your way of showing how much you care about things. Try to de-stress and relax if your anxiety gets too high, and remember that you don\u2019t have to be self-conscious or strive for perfection all the time. After all, nobody\u2019s perfect\u2014and you\u2019re already pretty awesome yourself!","edit_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Understand-Your-Emotions"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Show-Emotion"}],"link_data":[{"title":"How to Understand Your Emotions","id":11021,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Understand-Your-Emotions","image":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/db\/Understand-Your-Emotions-Step-13.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Understand-Your-Emotions-Step-13.jpg","alt":"How to Understand Your Emotions"},{"title":"How to Show Emotion","id":1041644,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Show-Emotion","image":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c0\/Show-Emotion-Step-6-Version-4.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Show-Emotion-Step-6-Version-4.jpg","alt":"How to Show Emotion"}],"minimum":0},{"text":"You\u2019re Envy!","meaning":"You have a tendency to admire other people. You\u2019re someone who can see the best qualities of everyone around you\u2014and you know enough to recognize when you might just want those incredible qualities for yourself, too! There\u2019s nothing wrong with wanting to be the best version of yourself or taking inspiration from other people, but don\u2019t forget that, at the end of the day, the goal is still to be yourself\u2014because you\u2019re pretty amazing on your own!

Like Envy, you also sometimes get a little preoccupied with what other people have. And while it\u2019s okay to want things, it\u2019s also important to practice gratitude for the life you already have! The more you allow yourself to be content as you are, the more positivity you\u2019ll have in your life.","edit_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Understand-Your-Emotions"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Show-Emotion"}],"link_data":[{"title":"How to Understand Your Emotions","id":11021,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Understand-Your-Emotions","image":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/db\/Understand-Your-Emotions-Step-13.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Understand-Your-Emotions-Step-13.jpg","alt":"How to Understand Your Emotions"},{"title":"How to Show Emotion","id":1041644,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Show-Emotion","image":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c0\/Show-Emotion-Step-6-Version-4.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Show-Emotion-Step-6-Version-4.jpg","alt":"How to Show Emotion"}],"minimum":0},{"text":"You\u2019re Ennui!","meaning":"Ennui is a feeling of boredom or dissatisfaction, often from a lack of interest or excitement in anything. Like Ennui in Inside Out 2<\/i>, you may find yourself feeling a little bored or uninterested in ordinary, everyday things sometimes\u2014which means you ooze originality. You\u2019re probably super knowledgeable and have many different hobbies because you\u2019re so willing to explore new things! You\u2019re always looking for fascinating interests to capture your enthusiasm\u2014even if that means being into things that aren\u2019t so mainstream. You\u2019re open-minded and totally unique!

In moments when you do start feeling bored, or like whatever you\u2019re doing is meaningless, remember that it\u2019s probably a sign to try something new. Don\u2019t let the ennui rule you; take it as a sign that it\u2019s time to explore new possibilities and figure out what might get you in a more positive state of mind.","edit_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Understand-Your-Emotions"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Show-Emotion"}],"link_data":[{"title":"How to Understand Your Emotions","id":11021,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Understand-Your-Emotions","image":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/db\/Understand-Your-Emotions-Step-13.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Understand-Your-Emotions-Step-13.jpg","alt":"How to Understand Your Emotions"},{"title":"How to Show Emotion","id":1041644,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Show-Emotion","image":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c0\/Show-Emotion-Step-6-Version-4.jpg\/-crop-200-200-200px-Show-Emotion-Step-6-Version-4.jpg","alt":"How to Show Emotion"}],"minimum":0}]" class="quiz_results_data"/>\"What<\/picture>","alt":"What Animal Am I Quiz"},{"title":"Which Mean Girls Character Am I Quiz","id":14468264,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Mean-Girls-Quiz","image":"\"Mean<\/picture>","alt":"Which Mean Girls Character Am I Quiz"},{"title":"What Marvel Character Am I Quiz","id":14017567,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/What-Marvel-Character-Are-You","image":"\"What<\/picture>","alt":"What Marvel Character Am I Quiz"}],"number":1},{"text":"I want to test my knowledge with some trivia quizzes.","result":"Check out these trivia quizzes\u2014and have fun!","next_quizzes":[{"title":"The Office Trivia Quiz","id":14178133,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/The-Office-Trivia","image":"\"The<\/picture>","alt":"The Office Trivia Quiz"},{"title":"Taylor Swift Trivia Quiz","id":14153342,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Taylor-Swift-Trivia","image":"\"Taylor<\/picture>","alt":"Taylor Swift Trivia Quiz"},{"title":"Harry Potter Trivia Quiz","id":14239615,"url":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Harry-Potter-Trivia","image":"\"Harry<\/picture>","alt":"Harry Potter Trivia Quiz"}],"number":2}]}" class="quiz_questionnaire_data"/>

Fun Facts About Inside Out 1 & 2

  • In the original Inside Out , Anger was supposed to have a “steam room” where he could let off steam when he got too upset and lost his temper. While that scene was ultimately cut, the door that was supposed to lead to the steam room is in Inside Out 2 —it’s the door the new emotions come through when they’re introduced!
  • Originally, the writers of Inside Out planned for as many as 27 different emotions to be characters in the movie (because, understandably, humans have a lot of emotions). However, they ended up cutting back to 5 emotions—and then added more (Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, Embarrassment, and Nostalgia) in the sequel.
  • Speaking of the new emotions added in Inside Out 2 , a number of other contenders were considered! Along with the 5 additions that appear in the movie, emotions like Awe, Guilt, Jealousy, Schadenfreude, and Shame nearly appeared too.
  • Long Term Memory (the labyrinth of memories in Riley’s mind) is supposed to be huge. In fact, Inside Out ’s filmmakers envisioned it to be about the size of the island of Taiwan, which is around 14,000 square miles!
  • One of the ideas for new areas in Riley’s mind in Inside Out 2 was “Procrastination Land,” an area with the motto “Always under construction.” It was supposed to feature construction workers asking if they should get started soon, checking their phones, and not actually doing anything. According to director Kelsey Mann, it has to be cut because it didn’t contribute to the movement of the film’s story.
  • When Maya Hawke (the voice of Anxiety) auditioned, the movie’s director (Mann) was on vacation at Disney World! While there, Mann was brought to a Disney office behind EPCOT’s Mexico area to talk to Hawke via Zoom, and he loved her audition so much that he was just about moved to tears. He called producer Mark Nielsen right after, saying, “Oh my god, she’s perfect.”
  • Inside Out 2 ’s main character, Riley, is more authentic than you might realize. That’s because she was shaped using feedback from Riley’s Crew: a team of teenage girls aged 13 to 19. Riley’s Crew would give notes on the movie (and Riley as a character) every few months as it developed to make sure Riley and her friends really felt like teenagers!
