Becca, I felt compelled to respond that I would reframe the statement, "The only person I feel aware of feeling anger with, is myself." That way it's not that you don't feel the anger, it's only that you haven't learned to become aware of it when you are feeling it toward another. It's only an "educational"/focusing on feelings and interpreting them correctly difference, not a "fault" in how you are made or what you yourself have been doing. You had to "not see" that anger at your parents/others in authority in order to survive for so long that that has to be unlearned and another way learned instead. There's nothing wrong with you! You have been doing things right all along to take care of yourself.
