No.

1- Having different feelings would require change / time

2- They are attributes that could be split off from the essence, and thus
ascribing them to G-d would defy Yichud haBorei.

3- They are features of the human condition that at times get in the
way of the most productive choice; it's like asking if HQBH could catch
a cold.

"Imo Anokhi betzarah" is from Tehillim 91:15.

But like all anthropomorphications of the Deity, it is not describing
Hashem as He is. Rather, it is Hashem as He shows Himself to us as an
example to emulate.

Tir'u baTov!
