Emotions are always constructive and if we don’t avoid them they are mild
Emotions are not subjected to ethical judgement, only behaviour is. Feelings are not controllable; they can be managed but they cannot be quashed. They are reactions.
Unpleasant emotions are useful; they tell us about ourselves and our environment. They enable us to have intuition, to plan our behaviour. As long as they are not too intense and do not last too long, they are a tool.
Feelings are not a pure reflection of reality. They are warnings and can sometimes be false alarms. In this way, you are always protected. If you notice it is a false alarm and the emotion is accepted as such, it fades.

Emotions are not judgements or a sentence. They are always constructive warnings, with a useful role. Learn to differentiate between “I feel guilty or incompetent” and “I am guilty” or “I am incompetent”.
