Anger
Anger is a natural emotion that everyone experiences, though its intensity can vary from person to person. When expressed within reasonable bounds, anger is a normal and even healthy reaction. It often arises as a response to suppressed feelings, emotions, or unexpressed thoughts. When someone feels unheard, undervalued, unfairly treated, or subjected to injustice, these bottled-up emotions can eventually manifest as anger. The longer these feelings are suppressed, the more intense the outburst can be. While anger is often an unpleasant experience, expressing it can be a healthy way to release what’s brewing inside.
