I think how the plots gonna go for this movie is that where as last time Joy tried to only make Riley happy by not letting emotions use the console as much therefore it caused Riley to nearly shut down emotionally, in this one Riley will let the new emotions have too much freedom and it'll cause Riley to act out a lot and cause chaos and at the end of the movie they end up getting more organized just like how the emotions are in her parents minds

Haven't watched the video yet, but I think the 10th emotion will be Love. All the other original emotions have a counterpart in the new emotions, except for joy. And a missing feeling that is closely related to joy would be love

I also noticed the positive/negative sides of these new emotions. Embarrassment - Humility Ennui - Motivation Envy - Desire Anxiety - Excitement

what about NOSTALGIA? It's both happy and what many teenagers experience looking back to "simpler times", plus it is also present in the original movie when joy felt nostalgia while observing the memory of Riley skating

Anxiety, like Fear, is all about keeping you safe. The issue is when that anxiety doesn't stop. It's supposed to let you know when something feels off, or when you're nervous, which gives you an idea of something new to learn.

I'm betting it's Love. But I'm hoping that it won't only apply for romance, it could also mean passion, compassion, appreciation, and self-love. The dark side of Love could be explored too, like idolatry and narcissism.

I think a possible out-of-left-field pick for a tenth emotion would be "contentment." The feeling of just being good where you are and with what you have. In life in general, just at a particular moment, or whatever. To me "contentment" comes off almost as a subdued version of joy, which would fit well with the idea of new emotions merging with the older ones and allowing for more nuance in emotional degrees or intensities.

Prediction: At the end of the film, all 27 emotions show up, and Anger finally gets to say that curse word.

turns out the 10th emotion was nostalgia

I do think there will be a 10th emotion. I like the ideas put forth for Pride and Hope, but I feel like the 10th emotion will probably be Love. However I don't think it'll go by the name Love, rather I think it would be called something like Attraction or Desire to make it less about just liking things and familial love and such and more about the aspect of love of wanting something or someone and doing anything you can to get it even to an obsessive or unhealthy degree.

In defense of anxiety - I have been told consistently throughout my life I was a thoughtful, considerate person. I partially blame my anxiety disorder. Anxiety is an emotion that makes you review what the future might bring, and it it through reflection that we can best anticipate what needs to be done. Anxiety (ironically) helps me be calm and prepared in an emergency, because I've already made a plan. Anxiety helps me be conscientious about other people's needs and anticipate other people's boundaries. Anxiety helps me create a safer environment for myself and others. There's also a whole heck of a lot that anxiety doesn't help me with, but the above reasons are why I wouldn't want to get rid of anxiety all together.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the other emotions were actually present in Riley‘s parents minds, but Riley just wasn’t emotionally mature enough to be able to interpret them correctly

Who is here after the reveal of Nostalgia?

I can see Joy discovering that she is the 10th emotion (Hope). A clue could be why she has a hair color different from the rest of her body.

Don't forget platonic love. Just because you can't experience romantic love, doesn't mean you don't have plantonic love. (I'm ace)

What if there were 2 HQs in Riley’s mind. Maybe the first movie when the HQ desk was broken the 2nd HQ took control. That’s why Riley was feeling Anxious, Bored, Envious, and Embarrassed. And in the 2nd movie maybe the 2nd HQ got destroyed so the other emotions have to move in with the first HQ.

I like the idea of love but I don't think it'll be romantic love. Some of the greatest friendships start at that point in life and Riley needs new friends after moving. I would like to see her navigate friendships more in this sequel.

As someone who just turned 13 like Riley I am very excited for this movie and curious to know how they will turn all the teen emotions into an all age movie.

I feel like enthusiasm should have been a strong candidate, it can end up being harmful in the form of over enthusiasm and fits the (mostly) E word pattern. Also feels appropriate to be missing with the onset of the four emotions we are getting.
