No, it is normal to feel a wide range of emotions with anyone. Not feeling certain emotions towards those you love isn't strange.

There's nothing wrong with not getting angry at the people you care about. We just love them more than we hate them. It would also save us from hurting them as it could hurt us.

No, there's nothing wrong with you that just means you really care about them and you should cherish that. Anger is a bad emotion, no one should try possessing it.

Look inside yourself and find out how you can see this as a strength instead of a weakness. There may be nothing wrong with you because you can't get angry at the people you care about. Some people seem to always get angry at the people they care about which possibly drives them away. Anger is a negative emotion and having something wrong with you is considered negative aswell so if not being able to express a negative emotion to someone you care about is wrong, then what would you consider would be right? There are times where it may be necessary that being stern with someone you love about a situation but you can be stern and concerned without being angry with them. Consider this the next time you feel you need to be angry with them but can't.

No. There's nothing wrong in it. You care for their feelings. You don't want to hurt them. Cause it will hurt you more.

No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you! You're just a really great person, but please don't let anyone take advantage of that personality trait of yours.

Not at all, in fact most people feel more comfortable about showing their true emotions such as anger around those they are closest with

No there is nothing wrong with not getting angry at the people you care about. You just have an exceedingly high patience level and have a great connection with those around you.

No, there is nothing wrong with you. The problem might be your own insecurity and your unability to place yourself above another person. You might also be afraid to lose the people you care about, by getting angry at them. Please know that anger is very normal in relationships with everyone. It's healthy and they'll probably even appreciate your honesty!
