@BumbleKitty Hi. I think this is probably something that shouldn’t give you a lot of concern. You might want to notice more subtle but actual manifestation, like if your anger spills out, perhaps in harsh words - even if it is well deserved. On the other hand, that can protect you, if say some is being physically threatening, a show of anger can make a person think twice. But even then, you want to try to avoid any kind of confrontation if possible. So, now to the violent fantasy scenario. If your anger prompts some movie in your head and afterward you “leave the theatre and go home,” I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. If you stay in the theatre and watch the movie over and over, and it becomes obsessive, then maybe it is something to address. I don’t like anger and violence either, but there are many times I let my imagination kick the cr@p out of someone. I usually “come out of the theatre” feeling a bit satisfied, justice was done. But I think I always ask myself after, what do I want in the real world, and the answer is usually that there is enough to keep my attention on that is about what is good for me and the people around me. I don’t think you should suppress your imagination and it sounds like you’re well aware that it is different than you’re values.
