There are unpleasant emotions, such as anger and rage, which hide revealing messages. These emotions reveal a deep part of our soul: fears that we are unable to recognize and accept.
Why don't we want to acknowledge our fears? The traps of our thoughts push us to fall, repeatedly, into anger, anger and malaise. Thus we end up at the mercy of our thoughts, as we carry out a conscious but superficial analysis of our fears.
We live under social pressure where fears are synonymous with vulnerability and weakness. We have this belief that leads us to bury our fears in our subconscious. We mask them with fits of anger in the face of situations beyond our control, which are part of our greatest fears.
It is easier to get angry than to acknowledge your fears
We are more used to seeing people get angry and angry than we are able to recognize their fears. We persist in anger, manifesting it towards ourselves (producing psychosomatic responses) or externalizing it. In the second case, we project it towards others based on the belief that it was another person or situation that caused us to feel so much anger that it turned into anger.
However, dealing with anger is not easy, even if we are more familiar with it than with fear. It is on a more superficial level and for this reason there are other problems hidden in it, those with which we have not dealt with or that we are not ready to face.
Surely you have known people who were always angry, as if this anger was part of their character; however, there are many reasons behind this attitude that fuel it. Anger is only the tip of the iceberg, the visible one.
When anger shows up in our lives and we don't understand the cause, we start thinking about it all the time. we intellectualize the emotion and end up forbidding ourselves from feeling anger and pain.
