I mean should I show people how angry I am? I was wondering maybe its a good thing to sometimes get angry at someone. Maybe sometimes you gotta raise your voice. Maybe sometimes you have to start yelling to get someone to stop doing something. I've always been someone who wants to deal with things peacefully and not get angry. But there have been times where I think getting angry at someone and letting them know I'm angry by showing them I'm angry would have helped me. Anger is there so people won't push you around and take advantage of you. Of course I know getting angry at someone could just get them angry at you and just make things worse. What if telling someone your angry isn't enough? Sometimes maybe you need to actually get angry at someone. If someone sees you as someone who could possibly get angry with you then maybe they'll stop. They'll think twice before deciding to take advantage of you or push you around or whatever I think you get the point. I think people are more willing to take advantage of those who seem less angry. So I was just wondering how should I express my anger towards people?

I don't think anger in and of itself is a bad thing. I think it's in how you express it. I think that telling someone you're angry is productive. I think yelling sometimes isn't so much, though who am I to say that you shouldn't do it? I do it even when I'm not angry. *haha*

But really, I'm not sure anyone can tell you how to express anger. It's more like how one should *not* express anger, and that is in ways which are destructive to other people, or yourself emotionally, mentally, or physically.

Is it something you've discussed with your T?
Thanks for this!

Well I've definitely talked about how angry I am. I'll talk about it when I see her again.
