There is nothing wrong with not being able to get angry at people that you love. It sounds like you may care about them enough to not do harm to them. This is good. Just remember, however, that you do not have to be angry to express what negative emotions you may be feeling. I commonly struggle with the fact that I can't really get angry with my father. Despite this, I make sure to not blame myself but rather work it out with whom i care for.

No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. There are some people we care more about rather than the anger we are feeling. Sometimes, we're angry at them for the wrong decisions they have done for themselves. We might get angry because we love them. So no, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. (:

Not being able to become angry at the people you care about is a common thing. It just shows that you love them more than risking the chance of losing them over an overreaction.

No, there's nothing wrong with it. However, I've always been a person who was easily offended. But, to my very good friends, it's nearly damn impossible to get angry because I know that it'd hurt them if I behave aggressively. I end up punching pillows and random stuff and tend to be quite.

No. of course not. In my experience with the close friends that I have I try to avoid all conflict and arguments. I don't like them and try to resolve problems before they become something massive.

No. There is nothing wrong with you. When we love somebody or care about them a lot, we make sure that they are comfortable emotionally. I think that the reason why you don't get is that you don't want to hurt them. Oftentimes this happens when your boundaries are enmeshed.

There is nothing wrong about not being able to get angry at the people you care about. It only shows the kindness you have in your heart. Forgiveness is what will set you free.

I think is normal, we don't want to feel any tension with people we care about. But sometimes it is more about ourselves. Being angry is not a sin, the only problem is acting irrationally about it.
