About This Quote

You’re afraid of your own anger. This is because you are afraid of what you would do if you were truly angry with someone else. You are afraid of the pain, the destruction, and the chaos that could follow. You are afraid of letting others know how angry you really are, because you are afraid they will become angry with you.

You’re afraid that it will be harder to control yourself than it is now. You’re afraid that it will cost you something to let your anger out.
