If you hope to express controversial emotions in a conversational way without saying something you'll regret you should try The Pardon Me Approach.
When a particular thought comes into your head that you'd like to share, say it to yourself in your mind and ask yourself firmly "what did you say?". Repeat this process several times before speaking said thought.
If you find you are still saying things you regret you may need to try something else, such as the Who Do You Think You're Talking To Approach.
