i never thought i got angry until i did DBT.
Linehan talked a bit about the function of anger and different situations which tend to result in anger.

- injustice.

if we think someone is treating someone else unfairly.

i first realised that i did indeed feel anger by appreciating that that was the feeling that i had when i saw one person treating another person unjustly / unfairly. of course a fair amount of sadness and despair that people would do that was present as well... but anger too, sure.

one of the functions of anger is to motivate us to attempt to rectify the injustice.

losing your cool and screaming and the like tends to not be effective. punching someone in the head also tends not to be effective (assault).

but it can be hard to see that one is angry when one has only seen the unhelpful expressions of it and it can be hard to admit to it and express it as well. takes time and role models help, yeah.

now... i experience an irritation quite a lot.

realise that... i'm quite an angry little %#@&#! really ;-)
