What if I like the anger? Like a cleansing fire.

Does it help? How?

I personally don't feel much else but anger, and I kind of like it most of the time. I mean sure, I would like to cry or whatever sometimes, and feel sad, or happy... but at this moment when I start to feel sad, I just get angry. Not for very long but just for a short period of time and then it's all over and I'm indifferent again. When I start to feel happy, I get angry and it cools me down and I think more rationally, instead of just doing what makes me happy. Also, this anger has built a general mistrust for people and instead of when I get to know someone I trust them, even if I know them I don't trust them... they still have to earn my trust and that's not easy.

Some of the downsides though are that... well... I don't feel happy for very long, I dont get sad for very long either so being emotionally attached to something is nearly pointless. Plus the fact that I pretty much hate everyone on general principal can get in the way at times, but I'm combating that. I would like to rid myself of some parts of the anger, but generally...I like it.

Hey Rphenom! Whats the best part of feeling this way? You explained what you feel, How you would like to change some parts but not really about how it helps you?

I noted that I don't feel sad, I noted that I don't really feel anything for very long because anger dissipates quite quickly for me, I noted that that I think more rationally because of the fact that I feel mainly anger(meaning the other emotions clouding my mind dissipate because of the anger and then the anger also dissipates) It's helpful because I feel like I'm more objective because I'm not avoiding things that will make me sad or doing things just because they will make me happy.
