It's very natural to not get angry at the people you care for because you don't want to hurt their feelings, even if they have done something that causes you distress or upset. Many people will try to reason for why the person did what they did, and because of the emotional connection you have to the person getting angry at them is extremely hard and very often doesn't happen.

There's nothing wrong with you. Sometimes we feel that the people we care about don't deserve our anger or pain from us at all. You may feel that you need to protect them. You just have to let yourself know it's okay to be angry with them and even healthy to. Getting angry is part of and important for social interactions. When has there been times where you felt like you were supposed to be angry with them? Why did you think that? Have they been angry with you before? If so, why were they angry with you? I hope I helped you out a little.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with not being able to get angry with the people you care about. That shows you are a very loving person. We actually need more people like you. Just make sure you don't let people walk all over you. Not being able to get angry is okay. But still let them know what is bothering you, you dont have to show anger for that. Once you communicate how you feel to them then you can try to work things out with that person you care about. Again, there is absolutely nothing that is wrong with you

no, it is perfectly valid to feel angry. we should not prevent ourselves from feelings emotions but we should control our actions that are led by emotions especially negative emotions! even if we care about someone we are allowed to feel angry , disappointed and other emotions that are usually negative! no one should ever repress their emotions it only leads to more harm than good. we as humans will feel emotions regardless of who it is those feelings are directed at. the best we can do is not let those emotions especially emotion of anger direct our actions and reactions towards the person.

It’s hard to tell the people you care about how you really feel. Personally I’ve had the same trouble in the past. But it’s better to tell someone how you feel rather then bottling you emotions up. Most family members or friends do not even know how you are feeling about them. This is what causes stress between people. If you tell them how you feel about them they could change and help the situation. This will make it easier for you to better understand how much they also care about you. Just take a deep breath and breathe.

No, nothing is wrong with you. Love is love. When you love someone whether it’s a best friend or your mom/dad we love and rely on them. Which makes it very hard to be angry at them when they are such big parts in our lives. It is different for everyone! But I can assure you there is nothing in the slightest bit wrong with you. Don’t ever think that! But please tell me why would you want to get mad at them? Is there something they have done? Something that you regret being okay with?

No, there isn't something wrong with you. It just seems that you place more value on those you care about than you do your own feelings. It can be hard to address our negative feelings with people we care so much about. However we need to learn to value ourselves and our emotions as well. Getting angry doesn't mean, getting aggressive or mean. Work on using 'I' statements to address your concerns with those you love. Never forget that you and your feelings are just as valuable as anyone elses and that it is okay to make yourself heard, respectfully.

No there is nothing wrong with you. When you were young, you most likely grew up in an environment where the feeling of anger was not allowed to be expressed. This conditioning was learned by watching others deal with frustration, resentment, and other subtler forms of anger. This is so automatic a reaction, it becomes unconscious to your awareness. You don't even realize why you are doing it. The best thing to do is to let yourself feel the emotion while sitting calmly in comfortable space. You need to take time to sit with your own feelings and learn to feel them. They are there to help you discover more about who you really are.

No, you are blessed as you can't get angry at the people youcare about as it is very beneficial for relationships not to show anger on people who you care about. Many people value that their loved don't get angry on them. Yes, it is something for what you can be thankful and grateful. It is something what our society expects of us and it is therefore culturally acceptable and ok and many times even needed not to be angry with people we care about. Anger can bring troubles into relationships and thus it isn't neither needed, nor wanted at all.

Absolutely not is there anything wrong with you. You have compassion for those you care about and that is a good quality. However, do not sacrifice who you are and what you believe in because you don't want to hurt someone else's feelings. I find that if you approach others with care and understanding, a lot can be achieved. It's ok to be angry, just try to think before you speak and never be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. Those that truly love us will always accept us even when we are angry. Human emotions are a part of everyday life and it is our right to experience them. Try to be kind to yourself and remember that compassion and empathy really make a difference in the world. You should be very proud of these traits.
