Anger does not mean that there is something wrong with you, nor with the other person. Anger is emotion, just like happiness, a visiter into our lives, which is there to give us a message about ourselves. Do not be afraid of the energy, but take the opportunity as to why it has been aroused within us. It springs up from our needs, and it can help us direct our lives into a better future. People that we care about, are often there to help us evolve in our lives. So in other words.. you have the possibility of using the energy anger generates, for you to either push forward in your life, or to show you what to avoid. It is Your Choice, what to do with it. :)

No, there isn't nothing wrong with you! That's the thing about love, sometimes you still love them more than what you're mad with them. Anyway, self care is important and it's good to know when a relationship is healthy for you and when it's not.

No, there's nothing wrong with you. The act that you can't get angry at someone you care about shows that you care about the person more than what is angering you. :)

It seems as if you are avoiding confrontations with people that you care about. Is that what is bothering you ?

Personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with not being able to get upset with those you care about. I feel like you have an incredibly big heart and that is something to be happy about! :)

There's absolutely nothing wrong with you! Feeling anger towards someone you care about or love is nothing to be worried about. You should try to speak with them about these feelings you're experiencing so that there is no weird void between you two. Talking about it all always helps, and you might even get to know how they feel towards you as well.

There isn't anything wrong with you. Anger is negative emotion and sometimes we care about someone so much that they don't cause those emotions in us. That doesn't mean that anything is wrong with you. It actually may be good in some situations that you don't get angry - that means you can deal with problems in a calm, kind way. When someone is doing something that you find wrong/upsetting, you need to discuss it with them, and not being angry gives you a better chance at that discussion being calm and having actual, positive results, so I don't feel that there is anything wrong with you.

There is nothing wrong with you. That shows that you have a huge heart and that's totally okay. You don't have to get angry at the people you love to be human.

There is nothing wrong with you, anger is a really powerful emotion and it can be scary to express this to someone you care about. Anger can be a useful emotion that helps us protect our basic boundaries, but it can also make us feel like we are out of control. Anger comes in many forms from the aggressive threats and hurtfulness to the more passive manipulation and evasiveness, none of them sound particularly pleasant to express to someone you care about, and as long as these people aren't crossing your boundaries, there is nothing wrong with not getting angry. When people you care about do cross your boundaries, your inability to get angry at them is stopping you from standing up for yourself, at this point it might be wise to take some time to ask yourself why you are unable to get angry at them and talk about different ways to make it clear to them your boundaries are not being respected.

For may people, anger can be a hard emotion to manage and express. Some folks are able to express it easily, while others are left holding onto their anger and sometimes not even recognizing it for what it is: an emotion, just like any other, that will pass. You might very well be getting angry at the people close to you (it'd be almost impossible not to), but not realizing it for what it is. If you're angry at someone, it might seem like you don't care about them; so you don't express the emotion and eventually end up feeling like you don't get angry at them at all. There's nothing wrong with you other than not recognizing anger for what it is.
