Do your emotions rule you more than you rule your emotions?

When it comes to your emotions do they rule you more than you rule them? Do you get sad, scared, angry, disgusted, frustrated, etc. before you get all the info or against logic set in because the event played against some belief, preference, idea, etc. you had about the given situation, people, system, or teaching, etc.? Are you more calm and reserved not allowing yourself to be drawn into some visceral spider’s web outside of logic or before all the facts can be extrapolated and vetted out?
