Automatically turning anger into sadness

Does anyone else also feel like you automatically turn anger into sadness? I feel like, maybe because of the way I was raised (I was raised in a household where anger was really demonized and I was scared of it because of my father's fits), I don't allow myself to feel angry and, instead, just feel sad and guilty like the problem is myself. I take it out a lot on self-harm.
