Misplaced anger is common.
- jamiek88 3y agoAnger is a secondary emotion. You need to figure out what you are actually angry about. That was advice that helped me a lot.
- lordfrito 3y agoWhat's wrong with misplaced anger, other than it's misplaced? My point still holds, something is wrong, some boundary is violated, you need to do something. Even if the anger is misplaced, you're not simply angry about "nothing" -- find out what the root is and fix it. The anger isn't the problem. Anger will give you the energy to do the work. And, as I said, what you do in response may or may not be constructive/helpful. Yes I understand misplaced anger can cause you to focus on the symptoms rather than the problem. In other news, throwing fists usually doesn't help. There are a bunch of things you can do when angry that aren't helpful. But the anger isn't the problem, it's the symptom of a problem that needs to be addressed.
