Anger: I've never felt anger so why now?

So it's come to light that I haven't experienced anger in a long long time (years). But I feel angry now and I don't understand what that means. I know that anger is a normal emotion for someone to have but it feels so alien and I don't recognise myself. I'm not out of control or anything but I just don't know what switched in my head.

Why would someone who doesn't feel anger begin to feel it all of a sudden? Has anyone else experiences this? I feel like I'm angry at the world and the injustices of life experiences.

I don't get angry either (although the dgc can push my buttons). The real red mist fury happens only once in a blue moon and it's not a nice feeling. I don't know why it should happen to you though... Confused

Anger is generated in response to injustice and unfairness, totally valid emotion. And doesn't have to be expressed through aggression or any negative behaviour necessarily

Why do you think you haven't been experiencing it until now?

I have no idea why I haven't. I know that it has probably been so effectively repressed subconsciously I haven't been aware of it or something. Whenever it's been questioned I've always been able to sincerely say that I don't get angry.

I know what's stirred it up but I just don't understand why now.
