Not at all. This is something that happens to me as well. I believe it's because I cherish the people around me and I'm worried that by getting mad at them I will lose them. It's a fear of mine, but that doesn't mean that there is something wrong with me. It's something I have to overcome, though. I don't see it as a weakness but rather a strength.

Anger is one of many emotions that we are able to experience, but that does not mean everyone of us experiences all of them, there is no "Normal" which you should expect yourself to conform to, each of us reaxts and feels things in an individual way....accept that your emotions are right for you and dont feel you should conform to someones elses idea of normal.

You can't get angry at them because you just love them too much and as you said care for them... perhaps you're forgiving and give more priority to the relationship you have with them rather than let a mistake they have done make you angry and get the best of you... you've got your priorities straight and probably know that anger and a few harsh words will just hurt both of you and so you just let it slide... Do you think that being a caring, forgiving and loving person is wrong??... Because in my books, these are qualities people strive to achieve and you already have them... so be happy and spread the love..

No, because you value the person more than the argument. It's reasonable to act that way. But understand there are times when you need to be angry or otherwise people might take advantage or not know that you are angry about a certain situation.

Sometimes we blame ourselves for the things other people do to us and need help to see that we aren't always at fault, or we have a hard time expressing our emotions and feelings to them when they slight or hurt us. There isn't anything wrong with you, we all express our frustrations with the people in our lives differently and sometimes we need assistance in fulling understanding and coping with situations that upset or hurt us and communicating that hurt to the loved ones that might occasionally slight us.

Not at all! It only means you love those people, but just remember that if they're doing something to hurt you, you've got to put a limit to it. Or if they are doing something wrong, talk to them and tell them that you are telling them that because you care about them.

This happens to all of us. It's not unnatural. Even though anger is the by-product of low self-esteem, anger reveals our frustrations and grudges we hold back. If this anger gets on the driving seat, however, that's a big issue to consider. Other than that, it's okay to be angry. There's nothing wrong. There's only something wrong when we keep feeding ourselves this idea that there's something wrong with us!

No, of course not. Many people find it much easier to forgive those they care about the most. It may not be the best thing to do, but it isn't something wrong with you
