its hard to have the anger but not act on it so people tend to numb it out or something like that. not feel it. go numb. or be sad instead.

I think for some people, it is also the reverse. That they are really hurt, but don't know how to feel that, so they get angry instead. For some people "anger" is safer/less painful than "hurt."
