There is no way in which we cannot feel emotion, emotion just arises.
If you happen to be at the subway in the middle of the night and someone pulls out a gun, you will be afraid, you cannot control not being afraid. The same thing happens with every situation in life. When you have an important meeting, you will feel anxious, asking a girl out? you will feel anxious as well.
What the Stoics argued regarding emotions is that you don't have to suppress them, quite the contrary, you should act in ways that give you the would ones and avoid the negative ones. You don't have to feel guilty about feeling afraid or angry. The rise of emotion is something, just as though, that isn't under our direct control, and so this too becomes part of the indifferent.
