Default Re: How do you handle anger?

I very rarely get angry, but when I do I fume for about 2 days. I also find it very difficult when people I care about get angry, whereas I'm fine with dealing with angry people at work etc. From what I've seen, people who turn it inwards do so as they were criticised in childhood, when they couldn't get angry with their caregiver. So self criticism establishes itself as a coping mechanism and then sticks.
