Can you Get angry?

In my youth and middle age, I used to be an anger monster. In my old age I am nice and chill, mellow and laid back. Quite a change! I attribute this change to a consistent, twice daily meditation practice.

I get upset and calmly react to the situation, but hardly ever actually feel anger. I learned to control my reaction to anger when I was younger and simply have little need for it. It’s not really a very useful emotion. Every once in awhile I will feel a little bit of it and I find that there’s plenty of anxiety behind it. That’s an emotion I haven’t learned to master yet.

I don’t get angry so much as I get annoyed and frustrated, but I imagine that I can still get angry. I just don’t have anything to be angry about at the moment. :woman_shrugging:

I’m almost off aps and I don’t get angry. Most of the time I see myself as the victim, and I believe anger involves wanting to impose your will on the world and others or being frustrated because you cannot. Anger is an arrogant and stupid emotion.
