It is a skill that takes a lot of practice - controlling or tapering your emotions when they are flooding you, like in instances of great anger, frustration, love (which is ok, unless it is troublesome, like unrequited love) and the like.

Intense emotion can be overwhelming for all of us. And if you're just opening up to an emotion, it can feel very raw. No matter how experienced you are with your emotions, we all need help sometimes to know how to deal with them.
This is a really great website that explains a lot about feelings. I hope you enjoy it and it can help you too...
Learning to recognize and stay with our feelings is a valuable experience. We can learn that just because we feel something, we don't have to act on it. Or that we can be angry and choose how to respond rather than let the anger control us. The more we know how we feel and ways to feel, release, be with, or let go of our feelings, the better we feel about ourselves....

Start being honest with yourself & others about your feelings. Try to share them "in the moment" - don't bottle things up. The longer you hold on to them, the easier it is for things to "go over the top." I think people will respect your honesty & integrity, if you let them know that you are aware that you have this problem, and are working toward containing it better. Honesty is the best policy -- so just start sharing, in the moment. I think you'll find that the tendency to act on the feelings are going to subside big time. I wish you well, good luck!

There is no solution for your emotions. Learn to deal with them. Get a hobby. If all else fails become a robot.

Well, first you have certain values.
Then you recognize the feeling and think about it (with practice that doesn't take very long).
Lastly, you act according to your values.

Sleep on it. Don't act on your emotions right away, if it can helped.
