Being aberrations of Will the force of creation, and Love the force that unites (relates) its manifestations - emotions may be considered weak forces. Strong force arises in the P/R equation of Will & Love
Emotions tend to distort and impede the operations of mind – markedly those regarding its Self-realization.
There are probably as many emotions as there are P/R varieties, although some, like envy & jealousy, emanate from similar confusions.
Concerning Self-realization, the most misleading emotions are wishes & hopes, as they stir the belief of Homo to be able to be someone else than he is.
Like all his weaknesses, Homo justifies his emotions too, claiming that they are essential for his survival as well as for being human, which might also be the reason for his belief that emotions make up a “person” (Latin: actors mask). A belief which has reached religious scales, considering that all the lost, the losers & those who want to play a role in life, make – with the help of media & commerce – ever more spectacles of their emotions, thus turning them into the most popular and successful self-deception-tool of modern times.
A fatal emotion is fear, as it impedes the interactivity of psyche & soma, and thus can paralyze the mind. (An effective way to get rid of fear is doing everything that provokes and drives it to its limits.)
When emotions become too much for Homo to handle, his psychologists & moralists place them into sub-conscious & sinful regions, thus enabling to regard himself as their victim. (Sub-consciousness denotes here a garbage disposal or dungeon of mind)
However, emotions can be useful too, when scorn and anger arise, inflaming the desire to get rid of this mess - and if they are joined by pride and the lust to fight, the much the better, as they enable to attack vigorous and joyful all that which obstructs Self-realization.
I don't consider my emotions as "aberrations of will"...nor a "weak force".
I think emotions are needed for "self realization", and that without these valuable emotions we never could achieve that.
Emotions don't "distort and impede" the operations of the mind....rather they solidify our thoughts with caring and compassion.
I wish and hope quite often...but not for myself, and not to change who I am.
I DON'T "play a role in life"...don't consider myself "lost", nor a loser.
I believe the people who bury their emotions (all humans have them)are the most unlikely to ever know "self-realization". Emotions are human...unless you're a sociopath.
psychologists love to categorize....the first thing they do when meeting you....anyone who cares to can become their (and their own)victim.
Curious why you would say that emotions tend to distort and impede self realization, yet a little later in your post you say that the emotions of scorn, anger, lust and pride can help to achieve it

What's really bothering you? Abstraction is boring, your real-life conundrum is probably much more interesting.
Emotions can cause actions & reactions which, occasionally, chase each other throughout the life of their beholder. Some emotions can affect adrenalin rushes & heart attacks, while others may bring about murder & suicide, or Eifel- & Trump-towers.
There are innumerable works about emotions and their effects, yet only few do mention that emotions are addictive. An omission that ought not to surprise, since addicts do not only tend to deny their predicament, but to elaborate sophisticated cover-ups, excuses & deceptions, and sometimes even try to seduce and to corrupt those who do not cherish
Anger - Anguish – Anxiety - Existenceangst - Disgust - Distrust - Hatred – Envy - Fear – Greed - Frustration – Grief – Guilt – Hostility - Humiliation - Jealousy - Regret – Rage – Remorse – Resentment - Sadness - Shame – Sorrow - Suffering ….

That's an incoherent word salad.
Try putting it into your own words rather than copy pasting from some website.

My takeaway from this is that emotions are bad because they distract you.
To which I say - then why not wish to be an android? Sure, you'd have to give up love, sensations of pleasure, and even survival instinct*. But you won't be held down by emotions. In short, androids will be superior to humans. If you object to this line of thinking, then it seems you're admitting that having emotions is better than not having them.
*Even the drive to survive is technically irrational. After all, why survive just for the sake of surviving? That's like saying puppies should live so they can chase frisbees as adults.
Oriental, foremost Hindu, Taoist & Buddhist thinkers, developed and taught during millennia a vast variety of techniques to control, reduce and eradicate emotions – and apparently without android or robotic side effects; in contrary, teachers and practitioners of these methods claim living a much fuller and more humanistic life.
In the Occident* obviously still prevails the myth that emotions are predetermined by genesis & genetics and thus could and ought neither be eliminated nor – from the addict-perspective – controlled.
