I have a tough time getting angry due to blunted emotional affect. But I finally got (silently) angry for about 2 minutes tonight at someone in real life.

Normally I just get really annoyed and thatā€™s as far as it goes.

Yes but usually I kill people with kindness rather than show anger towards them. Unless itā€™s my mom or dad I can get angry. Also can get angry at the world a lot. And people in general. Sometimes Iā€™ll be by myself and smh but usually my anger is held inward. Iā€™m pretty nice usually even if Iā€™m angry. Like when someone stole 800$ on debit card fraud from me I was angry but was still nice on the phone. In iop we had a weekly group on anger. I realized I get more angry than I thought but tend to keep it inwards still.

I think I can get angry but Iā€™m not sure.

I am not a patient person but I am peaceful and kind.

People have done horocious things to me and I have turned the other cheek and kept in peace yet not respect for them n their behaviour n may not like them so much or have as much love for them as I could of had or want to be around them but I do have such people around me.

People do not seem to respect me perhaps.

I was bullied too n I was hurting so much but still was probably a fool to be around these people that treated me so badly and hurt me so much.

Nothing I did made them stop .

I feel sad n disappointed some times but donā€™t seem to feel anger often if at all.

I rarely get angry. I am extremely easy going. I only get angry when I am blatantly attacked seriously. I had a man get sexually frustrated with me when I rejected him and call me a c*nt. He then proceeded to stalk and harass me. I had to call the Police. I was angry.

Takes a lot though. Sometimes people want to make you mad. They want that reaction and when you turn the other cheek, they up their game or they physically attack or intimidate you. I have, most certainly, had that happen! Sometimes people attack you for turning the other cheek but I try.

I canā€™t seem to get angry very often, but when I do watch out.

Yes and no? Internally I can get FURIOUSLY angry. Externally it is very very difficult for me to express anger and I almost never do, like you said it comes out more as irritation than anything.

Thatā€™s why I like writing about my feelings more than I like talking about them, because I canā€™t always express them physically but I can always express them through writing.

I get extremely angry extremely quickly. I usually end up punching the heck out of walls and doors so I donā€™t go after anyone. My hands are almost always bruised. I canā€™t express my emotions properly at all

Anger is my ā€œgo-toā€ emotion. Before I figure out what Iā€™m actually feeling, Iā€™m angry.

I have a little saying in my head, ā€œnever be the bunny rabbitā€. I was abused as a kid, and as an adult by my first husband. I was compliant and sweetā€¦
Since then, Iā€™m never the prey animal. Iā€™m the predator, which may sound silly. I donā€™t mean that I attack others. I keep to myself, but maintain an attitude of being able to defend myself. Predators tend to avoid other predators.

I donā€™t allow myself to become angry when necessary; therefore, I sometimes blow up at the slightest provocation. I wish I knew how to channel it.

I havenā€™t got angry in a long time - I hardly have any emotions these days.

Iā€™ve always read and heard blunted/flat affect are about emotional expression not the emotions themselves
