Is Anger A weakness?

Anger is a normal thing. How we deal or use it is the question

Lol no it’s a natural emotion. It doesn’t make you weak to feel. People are often encouraged not to express/feel certain emotions like anger or sadness, but it’s a normal human reaction and is what makes us human. How you react and express those emotions I think is more what determines certain things like strong or weak.

Can be, any emotion can be manipulated to get you to do bad shit. You just gotta keep your wits about you to try and prevent that.

It is if you don't have a hold of it or a way to express it. Since I started learning to fight and sparring recently, I've unlocked more of my anger but it comes out in a healthy way that has some catharsis. I've also done the shadow work in therapy to be able to recognise and respect my anger as a valid and positive aspect of myself.

Society puts down anger and supresses it without offering a healthy release for it. This is creating internalised anger in people and with a healthy expression of that it can be helpful like it's meant to be. We're made to feel shame when we feel angry, which makes us even more angry.

The key to take away is that supressed emotion coming out into the world is like an untamed animal that doesn't function in society, it will express itself like that. Getting in touch with and incorporating that aspect of ourselves will allow us to intergrate it in ourselves and have control and the enrichment of that in our lives.

"Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die." - Buddha

Righteous anger without violence can be a good thing..

But on most instances anger only leads to additional troubles added to the trouble that caused the anger.

No but how you handle it can make you weak

There is positive anger and negative anger. Positive anger is energizing. It gets things done, makes changes. Negative anger will just give you high blood pressure and may be harmful to others if not controlled.

It can be but it doesn't have to be. It can be harnessed and made to serve you.

Anger, just like any other human emotion is neither a strength nor a weakness but depending on the way you handle your emotions it can either strenghten you or make you weak.
Personally I lash out on objects or myself when I am angry and I know that makes me weak.

Most of emotions have meaning when related and about to something else.
Anger and joy, love and disgust, esteem and sadnes....
Are not or shouldn´t be, IMO, inconditional attributes of that oh so praised "inner" and "self", but our answers to our interaction and dialog with life out there.
To rage over minutia is, yes, a meassure of our worries, may be sometimes a weakness relative to the small magnitude of it´s reasons.
To be scared or indiferent and not feel anger about injustice is weaknes.

Under certain circumstances, yes it’s a lack of self control and character. In other circumstances it’s entirely appropriate.

Showing anger can be a weakness.

Depends on how it is utilized.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no

Not in itself no. It has its function like all our emotions do.
Any emotion can however be a weakness if you don't learn to balance it.
Except maybe in fields where it's required. If you channel it into a space that demands it, it's not always a bad thing. Like sports or in competitive industries.

Not at all

depends whether you control it or it controls you...

anger you control can keep you alive in a dangerous situation, but anger that controls you can get you killed just as easily.

It's a survival thing. If we never became angry we would not know enough to run when threatened. The main thing is not to LIVE with undying anger in your heart.

There is a time and place for it if justified. If it is a constant piece of your life then.....there are deeper issues at play I think.

no it can be a motivator too

it is technically an emotional reaction.

Yes it is because you can’t control it if you’re weak

That depends on how the person reacts when they are angry.

How one expresses anger is a weakness.

Only if it dominates your emotions

It's only a weakness if you are angry all the time. People will use it against you when they can.

not really 😏
