If anger were a sports team, I’d be its biggest fan. I’d have the season ticket, the home and away kits, the sticker album That may sound strange, but I think anger suffers from a huge amount of misunderstanding and bad PR.
Firstly, it’s considered a ‘negative’ emotion and, subsequently, it feels uncomfortable – we try to escape or suppress it as quickly as possible. People often tell me that anger is a sign of being ‘childish’ or ‘out of control’. Sometimes they have had negative experiences with ‘angry’ people, which has tainted both the emotion and their ability to express it.
