I Was Not Allowed to Feel Or Express Anger Growing Up

After a long long time, i expressed my anger by talking it out loud. Don't even remember the last time i did that. It feels good, don't know what made me talk angrily, but i just couldn't keep those thoughts inside me and writing wasn't enough. This is a huge experience coz i was never allowed to express anger even as a kid. Even after i started to learn more about feelings, i had a hard time expressing anger. I used to watch some people get angry for nothing and I could never do that. I didn't know how. I used to write to vent about things that made me angry, but talking and expressing it out loud - never.
I feel liberated from all the repressed anger.. coz expressing anger isn't 'bad' or 'wrong', expressing it only means that something bothered me or offended me. I just hope i don't repress my anger again, and that i'm able to express it. I think i repress it coz i'm always scared that it would hurt the other person. coz i've been hurt the most by my mom's anger. I know how the words hurt and rattle inside. So i learnt to keep my mouth shut and never express it. But sometimes it's necessary to express anger, or else it starts eating you up.

I'm sorry you experienced anger directed at you.
You're right about the necessity to express feelings otherwise the suppression will end up hurting you. Only allow enough of yourself to come out that is appropriate for any given
situation. Do not expose yourself to those who want to take advantage of you. Talking about chakras here.
You're moving forward. Good luck and lots of love.

@BellaOceanRoses: Thank you! ❤️😊
That's my problem, too. And the times I chose to express my anger, just made circumstances worse. So now, my repression of my anger is even greater.
