Maybe we've had too much negativity in our lives to be concerned with anger?
We have a right to feel it, but we just don't? I think when people look at situations from the outside it's easy to feel emotions of anger and outrage because of mistreatment, but living through that mistreatment you learn ways to cope that avoid or don't include anger. My T thinks I saw anger in such an extreme way that it's scared me so much I can't express my own anger. The problem with this is, there is no anger inside me to be scared of.
