“Anger is a mask”

[Dolphin14]

What do you mean by that?

Through therapy I have learned anger is an emotion I have every right to feel. It's something I have a hard time with. I cry instead.

Some people do show anger when depressed or afraid.

Just some things I've learned.

I agree with you Dolphi14. Anger is a real emotion.the same as Love and Hate is. I get angry most days because I want to do things that I cannot do. Sometimes I cry and sometimes I'll kick the leg of the chair or washbin. because I get so angry and frustrated. My Phsycholotist told me that if I need to scream, then do it , to let some of the anger out. We need to somehow release the built up tension in us.If I didn't do these things, I would cry 24/7.

Thank you for explaining. I wasn't sure what you meant.

I've been through the crying 24/7. So I understand. My anger continues to come out in tears. If I get upset I just start to cry. I was not allowed to express anger in my childhood. So I have been struggling trying to feel that emotion.

Express it and kick things if you need to. Do whatever you need to do to help yourself.

Take care

Dolphin 14 , I even thought of buying a punch bag and get my Hubby to fill it up for me. laying it on the floor in the corner of our outhouse,then when I get angry , kick the s...e out of it. We can't hang it up anywhere so that I could punch it , because I've got Rheumatoid Arthritis in my both hands. I'm so sorry that you wasn't allowed to express your anger in your childhood . Do whatever you want to do to get rid of your pentup feelings. Kick, shout, scream. Get angry and let it out. As long as you aren't hurting anyone. Do it all. But you Take Care x

Hello, well on therapy this term is used as part of the viewing of it since often other complicated emotions lie underneath the anger. Anger is commonly known as a ‘basic emotion’ (one that’s universal to all humans), but where it gets a tad trickier is that anger often shows up as a ‘secondary’ emotion because it occurs as a emotion reaction to other emotions.

That what the frase means.

Thank you

Yes, that's true. Emotions are so complex.

I had never seen the phrase before. Interesting point of discussion. I'm glad you posted it

I’m not sure what you entirely mean by this, are using phrases like this as a coping mechanism, etc.?

Anger is indeed a real emotion. There are many that struggle to control this emotion, I myself have been very very angry in my past. It was a huge part of my depression, my mental state was governed by a lot of displaced anger, in my case it was circumstances dealing with my past.
