You don't come across mad, but that doesn't mean you don't have anger that may need to be addressed.

@BaldAndBold OK well I will look into addressing this, I think the anger is buried. But I'm up for improvement always.

@Peppa you come across very caring and sweet. Just know it's okay to have anger too.

@BaldAndBold thank you. That's really made me smile.
Angers not an emotion I was allowed to really show growing up. And on the rare occasion I did show it I had become very violent.
I don't enjoy that feeling of adrenaline I can't control it.

@Peppa I understand. When we are taught it's not ok, it gets bottled up and then it finally overflows and we seem to explode.
What's helped me is learning not to repress my anger. I face it, think why something made me angry. And just feel it in the moment. It is important for all of us to know that anger is okay to feel and work through in that moment, so it doesn't build up.
