Anger
Anger can be scary. I think everybody is familiar with the panic when someone gets angry and you feel like they might lose control. Anger can lead to physical, mental or emotional abuse, so why wouldn't we feel frightened when someone else gets angry, it seems logical, right?
<da:thumb id="389199220"/>The problem becomes when we get frightened of our own anger. Personally, I suffer from angraphobia. It means that people displaying the mildest irritation with me can make me extremely anxious or afraid, but unfortunately I also feel that way when I get angry.

Anger may be a scary thing to witness, but it's also a necessary emotion to let out! If something makes you angry you can't undo that response once it's happened, by not letting it out you may be saving face, but at the cost of your own health (both physical and emotional).

So where is the line between too much anger and not enough? I think the key thing is to work out where, when, and with who it is acceptable for you to display your anger. It's okay to bitch about the trash collector missing your bin to your boyfriend, it's fine to bitch about your boyfriend to your mum, it's okay to honk your horn if someone is driving dangerously and almost hits your car... there are times and places.

The important thing is, identify those places and people and try to utilise them to siphon off your anger so that it doesn't harm you, or explode at the wrong person at the wrong time. Don't try not to feel anger at all, because being at war with the emotions you feel after you've already felt them is a losing battle.
