There is nothing wrong with you. It is okay to feel anger towards the people who you care about and still love them simultaneously. Just because we care for someone doesn’t mean that they cannot mess up, or we cannot feel any other emotions about them. That being said, there is nothing wrong if you do not get angry with them either. Sometimes love makes it easier to look past the errors someone is making and look at them a little more graciously. It is important to understand, however, that the people we care about can do wrong so we do not put them on a pedestal and blame them when they fall off.

When you have an understanding nature and love to be there for people it can show up like that so no there is nothing wrong with you. Try to set boundaries if you feel like that's what you need to do as sometimes we let people take advantage of us and our emotions because we put them on a pedestal. How do you feel when they do something that frustrates you? Do you express these feelings to them so that they are aware? What other emotions do you feel and what actions do you take to diffuse the situation or do you just pretend it never happened?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Getting angry at the people you care about can lead to hurting their feelings and you could simply be trying to avoid that. But you don't have to show anger to tell these people that something is wrong. If something angers you, take some time to tell them your thoughts and how you feel about things, and how you want them to change. A conversation can get the message across without you having to show any anger. But anger is also an important emotion and if having people you care about around represses that emotion, your emotional wellbeing may be compromised.

No. Not being able to get angry at people is not an issue at all. Not being able to get angry at people you care about shows how much you care about. Something that you should be thinking about is that why do you want to get angry on people you care about. If there is something they do that you do not like or are comfortable about then you can talk to them. Talking out usually helps just care should be taken that you are talking peacefully and with an intention to make things better and not spoiling them or fighting. I hope this answer helps you.

Nothing wrong with this or you. Sometimes we can find it hard to feel negative feelings, especially as strong ones as feeling angry, towards the people we love. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by your situation and aren't fully connecting with all of your emotions towards the people you care about, or maybe there is a trauma behind here, or a need to please that is making it hard for you to angry feelings. I wonder, is there a specific reason you feel you need to feel angry towards the people that care about you? Have they done something wrong? But to recap, whether there is a reason or not, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being conflicted about this matter. Sometimes, we humans struggle with our emotions and this can just be a part of your emotional growth.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Your inability to get angry at the people who you care about simply shows how deeply you love them and wish for their wellbeing. Often people close to us are the ones who hurt us the most and several people would get angry at them. Your ability to tolerate them is a strength a lot of people lack, which in turn makes their situations worse. I know what it feels like when you can't seem to get annoyed with your loved ones even when they hurt you. It can be frustrating, yet it demonstrates a uniqueness which they would soon realise and cherish you for

I don't think there is anything wrong with this unless it's causing an issue. Is there an issue with people doing things they shouldn't, stealing from you, lying, or hurting you in some other way? There could be a consideration of strengthing and/or applying boundaries. You don't need to get angry at anyone, but they do need to respect your boundaries. The boundaries are what you decided on things that you will and will not accept in life, from people, etc. If someone does something to you that crosses your boundary, you simply tell them that no, or do you want or need it, etc.

It means you value the relationship more than your emotions. When we care about someone, we don't want to hurt them but saying some words that may hurt them will be ended up with regret. You sound like you value and empathize with others' emotions. So when you care about them and think about them it just means you are selfless. But that doesn't mean you can't get angry at all. So when you get angry, find the reason for the emotion, try to calm yourself, and look for another way to make a peace with yourself without getting angry. After all, it's one of the human emotions, you can't suppress it for so long.

Sometimes it’s hard to speak our minds or say what we truly need and feel in situations, especially when family or close friends are involved. It’s important to remember that unless you are happy and feel whole, you can never really give your best to another. Your needs must be met first, before you can attempt to meet another’s successfully. If you are nervous or scared to speak to someone you care about regarding something you’re not happy or content with, plan your conversation. Think about why your upset and what it is that you are feeling. If you go into a situation with a kind and loving heart, with no malice intentions, the other person will likely feel that and be open minded to what your concerns are.

There is nothing wrong about it. It is hard to get angry with people who we hold dearly and closely to our heart. It can also indicate good anger management. Sometimes when we get angry, we could say things that hurt those we love. Anger can escalate pretty quickly as well if we don't know how to manage it. There are several different approach to solve a conflict. Depending on who we are talking to and the subject of the conflict, a suitable approach to get to resolutions is more effective than getting mad at people, especially those who we care about.
