I personally think life is whole question of BALANCE. Anger is my problem too. I am slowly getting better. And yes, I do feel it's good to be natural and to let it out. The real bad part is when I let it out too much, it's easy to go way out of control. At that point it seems almost impossible to pull it back in. Think we just have to keep practicing, keep being fully aware.

However, I've met quite a few people who seem to believe that it's better to be 'natural' and 'show your true feelings' and 'let it all out' as it's more 'real'! So I've been wondering if, by trying to keep my cool and stay calm, am I being 'fake'?!? Is it unhealthy if I don't 'show' my anger at all?
Is there such a thing as too much self control??
Would appreciate any input on this  |
