Anger is a shield. Vulnerability is too risky.

Yes, it’s a secondary emotion. The primary emotion is usually fear or sadness. Much less painful to be angry.

Are you okay, OP?

Not this shit again.

Depends entirely on the grievance.

Agree.. Anger is helplessness. As long as you are helpless, nothing can be your fault, and you don't have to do the work.

It depends on the individual scenario. Nothing in human emotion is as black & white as this.
