It's Okay to be Angry
It really is.
Too often in the modern world, people are encouraged to look at anger as a character fault, instead of a character trait.
It's essential to who we are. And people need to express it, in one way or another. So if you're putting a lid on it, just to be polite, then the rest of us are doing you a disservice.
Let your anger be known. Don't let it become violent or explosive, but if you're honest with people about it, you will earn more of their respect.

Lets see if your idea is true.
...I don't get it.
"Let your anger be known. Don't let it become violent or explosive, but if you're honest with people about it, you will earn more of their respect."
I'm gonna have to disagree with ya there buddy. As a deeply angry individual I can tell you that literally no one wants to hear it. The second you start voicing your anger or dissatisfaction people start disliking you. People want to be around happy, cheery, successful people. They don't want to be around an average person who is angry.
See those posts with all the big numbers behind them? Are those the posts of average people with anger? Of course not. They're the escapist ramblings of hot white girls with tons of money going on trips to islands and shit. If I sat down and vented my anger in a post you think that would get any votes? I don't.
Thanks for sharing. ;)
Kind of proving my point.
Actually, you were kind of proving mine. ;)
You seem to think that people don't like being around those who express their anger.
But let me ask you this: have you ever been around someone who is obviously angry about something, but refuses to acknowledge it.
"I'm fine," they insist. "I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine."
They think they're doing you a favor, imagining that they are somehow shielding you, but it's infinitely more vexing, more soul-eroding than just having someone be angry at you.
So let your anger be known, and don't be stingy with it.
Alright, lets put this to the test
