It's a great topic. Sadly my Internet is trash where I am right now. So I'm not going to be able to post in detail.
All I want to say is, maybe, the complexity of emotions is debatable. I agree that love is simple but not easy. However that is applying my own model of emotions on the concept 'love'. I consider 'love' a pure emotion but I do not consider it often occuring in this pure form without anything else.

That is not as simple as you'd think. At least with trauma. Therapy, and the body still keeps score what the brain tries to forget. There's a reason you often need a therapist that specializes in trauma to get help with things like PTSD it's because it's not simple. Trauma literally rewires the brain, and if it happened young and repeatedly past trauma can actually change how you develop and it can be wired into you.
Maybe with some past stuff might be simple but not past trauma.

Social anxiety is a *****. I'd include phone calls, making appointments, and ordering food for anyone with social anxiety

I think of my emotions as a swirling mass of liquid and my reason as the rigid order which contains them. They are not restrained or repressed; they are free to flow about within the container. Logic simply covers them up with a lid.
It's inspired by an ACT exercise where we're taught to view our emotions as passengers on a bus and general DBT principles for emotional regulation.
Ironically, I have to use emotional control exercises to help cope with my apathy, not because I struggle with disproportionate emotional reactions. You could call it unemotional regulation, maybe.
