It is perfectly okay to experience anger towards those you love or in fact anyone. For example, Maybe the person has overstepped a boundary and hurt you. And they are unwilling to acknowledge that hurt. You may feel angry and frustrated that you are going unheard. Having the anger is normal. Knowing how to be with the anger within you and learning how to respond and communicate that your boundary has been crossed and you feel angry, in a way that respects the other person and honours your need to express it in a healthy way, is a skill that can be learned. Why not check out the self help guides on managing emotions and boundaries so you can skill up in these areas?

No! Of course not. Some days the anger sticks and some days the anger does not stay. The key is to forgive (not forget) and remember to fill up your personal tank. Check-in on yourself and see that your needs are being met and make time for yourself to get it right. You need the energy to grow and grapple with emotions (whatever those are) and give grace where grace is due. Give yourself grace too! Ask yourself if there has been any offense done to you and what you can do to tune-up your toolkit of problem-solving skills and personal expression. Use these tools to build a better tomorrow.

There is definitely nothing wrong with you. I also find it hard to get mad at those I care about. Sometimes it is ok to get mad though but the way you display your anger is what is important. If you are upset it is important to voice your concerns in a healthy and respectful way. You sound like an extremely kind person. I do hope you have a way to express your emotions though in some form or another. Whether that is through conversation either in person or over the phone. Good luck to you!

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.

No! There's nothing wrong with you, you just love them deeply and you don't wanna hurt them. But if you're getting hurt ... you have to talk to them about it. If they don't understand you're gonna have to drop them as friends(If they're friends) and for family try explaining this to a family member you trust. But at the end of the day, you have to do what you think is best for yourself...because you know yourself better than anyone! I hope I helped you out...I also hope you understood what I said lol. But have a wonderful day/evening/night.

There's nothing wrong, hunny. That's all because you love them with all your heart and angry with them means hurting them and you can't stand the idea of hurting them. I see you have a big heart for caring at them and try to protect them also. Angry can means you care at them also but maybe you show them your caring side with another emotions. And once again it's normal, dear. I hope you have a good day always and keep caring with the people that you love. Because it's a safe sign for you to love them for who they are and when they do a mistake, anger isn't the answer to help them. You can do other things to show that you care at them.

There is nothing wrong with you not getting angry. And that is completely normal. The reason is because you care about people so much that you worry about how they would feel if you were to get angry. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you because that is the same with me and nearly everyone. For example, if my friends do something to me that I don't like, I cannot get mad at them because I am scared of losing them. So that could be the same with you. But don't worry about the consequences because it is okay to get mad sometimes, and even if that with with people you care about. In order to have a stronger bond with people, it is essential to sometimes express your feelings if you do get mad. If you have any additional questions, leave another question to the 7 cups community. Thank you and hope you have a wonderful day

There is nothing wrong with you, being angry at someone you love and care about if something happened you believe they are deserving to be angered on is not a necessity. It shows that you love and truly care for them regardless of what they had done, if you think that this is a really big problem and it is interfering with your social and personal issues then I advise you to talk to your loved ones and the ones that you care about, if they understand how you are feeling and how you can't get angry, perhaps, later on, you won't find it wrong at all and find it better to not be angry and settle on arguments that could cause fights.

Not at all. You have reached that level of understanding and acceptance that you might know the reasons of things they do, that make you angry. And since you understand them, care for them, you have accepted them as they are. This is the most beautiful quality of yours. But, sadly there is a downside too. When you care for someone, its not easy to be unconditional, one day you will expect them to care for you, they may or may not. And then if you keep your emotions to yourself, you are hurting yourself. It's like a volcano mountain, you are adding the lava of anger and the hurt from unfulfilled expectations into a mountain, one day it might explode. Either care unconditionally or make sure they know you care. Never forget, nothing is wrong with you, you are too good to be wrong, but this anything too much in this world doesn't give peace.

No, you're just a really kind and good hearted person. You are also most likely to be a type 9 on the Enneagram personality test as this type loves peace and harmony with those around them, and would go to great length to achieve it. However although it might just indicate that you have a heart of gold, it is important to learn to set boundaries so you can protect yourself from being taken advantage of, and protect your heart from getting hurt. Anger doesn't always solve things, so if someone has harmed you, you don't need to get angry at them, but do make it clear that they crossed one of your boundaries, so that they can be careful.
