It may seem crazy or wacko to think that anger or our other emotions can affect our health, after all we’re really good at compartmentalizing our feelings, right? Erm, maybe not?

Anger often masks fear or emotional pain. It seems easier to just vent and stew instead of tapping into what’s causing us to feel angry.

Thankfully, anger is an emotion we can learn to regulate, we don’t HAVE to live in that state, nor do we need to keep holding onto it. Yes, it takes emotional work to figure it all but considering the costs of holding onto it, don’t you think it’s worth it?

In Is Suppressed Anger Making You Sick? Here’s What One Expert Says, by Anushay Hossain, we see how suppressed anger affects us.

In recent years, we’ve seen a slew of self-help books, memoirs, social media infographics, and magazine articles calling out women’s invisible labor and self-silencing. Most of us are now aware of—which is not to say immune to—the dangers of grinning and bearing it, and the effect that suppressing emotions has on our relationships, our careers, and our general sanity. But recent research indicates that repressed emotions aren’t just jeopardizing women’s mental health and undermining our goals, they may be making us physically sick. In 2022, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh found that women of color who “frequently suppress” their anger were 70 percent more likely to experience carotid atherosclerosis, a cardiovascular condition that increases the risk of stroke. There are also other studies that link self-silencing with irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, and cancer among women. A recent Stanford-led study has even pointed toward a connection between suppressed anger and the rise of autoimmune disorders in women of color.

Here are just a few medical problems that suppressed anger can trigger or exacerbate:

• carotid atherosclerosis, a cardiovascular condition that increases the risk of stroke
• irritable bowel syndrome
• chronic fatigue syndrome
• cancer among women
• rise of autoimmune disorders in women

I can certainly attest to how continuous stress ended up giving me Shingles in my early 20’s, and because I didn’t have any clue how to manage the situations in my life so I continued to stuff my stress down inside of myself, and try to work it off through starving myself and by doing excessive exercise, which all had the effect of creating more and more Shingles episodes until it became chronic. It was only when I learned to handle my stresses in a healthier way did the Shingles finally clear up. Unfortunately, longterm damage was done, and I have immune system issues that I need to care for with taking nourishing supplements, not overdoing it physically or emotionally.

Recognizing what anger is, when it’s not obvious

Anger is the kind of feeling people try to tamp down, out of fear that it will ignite and explode. Pretending your anger doesn’t exist causes it to compress itself, making a home in the small space of your body, until something sets it off.

While there’s no such thing as a bad feeling, there are healthy and unhealthy ways to express anger. There’s a difference between sharing how angry you are and letting your anger transform into aggression, which is toxic and dangerous. Being the object of another person’s wrath can make you feel unsafe. The phrases people with serious anger issues say often can act as a warning sign that they’re unable to manage this difficult feeling.

12 Phrases People With Serious Anger Issues Say Often, by Alexandra Blogier

In 12 Phrases People With Serious Anger Issues Say Often, by Alexandra Blogier, we get an idea of some more subtle signs of an angry person:

1. ‘I can’t deal with this anymore’
   “Feeling angry is part of being a person in relationship with others, and it’s the way we navigate anger that matters most. People with serious anger issues let the feeling consume them, which means they reach their breaking point constantly. According to psychologist Bernard Golden, PhD, recognizing anger when it’s still small is a key part of handling it with grace. Having high emotional intelligence is crucial in helping people deal with anger in constructive rather than destructive ways. A healthy way to manage anger involves pressing pause and reflecting on what you’re thinking and feeling, while immediately reacting is a sign of unhealthy anger management.“
   
   Saying this occasionally when we feel overloaded can be understandable, but if it is used frequently then it shows a person who is more easily frustrated.
   
2. ‘Get out of my face’
   “There’s nothing wrong with needing space during conflict; in fact, asking to take a time out is a sign that a person knows how to de-escalate tension. Stepping away from an argument and forcefully telling someone to get out of your face are very different things.”
   
   Oof, this. Of course, if someone is aggressively in your space and doing the finger jabbing thing to us, then I get it, standing up for ourselves is advisable. However, if this phrase is used when someone wants to discuss an issue? Quite aggressive and designed to get someone to back off.
   
3. ‘Don’t test me right now’
   “This phrase reveals a subtle aggression that could quickly boil over. It’s a low-key threat that indicates a person has uncontrolled and serious anger issues.“
   
   When one partner uses this phrase to their partner, the intention is to send a warning of an impending explosion.
   
4. ‘I’m about to lose it’ or “Don’t make me angry”
   “I’m about to lose it” is a phrase people with serious anger issues say often. This phrase operates as a double-edged sword. It shows the person is aware they’re triggered, which is the first step to dealing with anger constructively, but declaring they’re on the edge of losing their cool shows they haven’t reached the next steps required to diffuse their anger. A study from Ohio State University discovered that a commonly-held approach to anger management is so ineffective, it could cause greater harm. Psychologists have long believed in “catharsis theory,” which holds that venting anger out loud allows people to move through it. Yet the study’s findings proved this theory wrong. “I think it’s really important to bust the myth that if you’re angry you should blow off steam — get it off your chest,” said Brad Bushman, the lead author of the study. “Angry people want to vent, but our research shows that any good feeling we get from venting actually reinforces aggression.”
   
   These are veiled threats, meant to make the other person back down. There is no actual resolution to any issue, only the feeling that everyone needs to walk on eggshells around them lest they lose their temper.
   
   I’m happy that the old myth of blowing off steam to handle anger has been dispelled, because it just creates and reinforces existing our neural pathways to quickly jump to anger as a response. It reinforces the brain’s pathway to the Amygdala, and when we live in that zone we don’t operate from a rational, calm or kind space. Instead we reinforce irrational responses and behaviors, which causes us to say and do things we later regret after we calm down.
   
5. ‘You just don’t understand, do you?’
   “This phrase seems like a question, but it’s actually a declaration that implicates other people in their anger. There’s no correct answer for this alleged question. Saying, “I don’t understand,” proves them right, giving them permission to stew in self-righteous rage, but saying, “I do understand,” could cause them to blow up.“
   
6. ‘Everyone else is so incompetent’
   “This phrase lifts the veil of a person’s polite facade to reveal the hostility they carry with them at all times. People who say this phrase think they’re better than everyone else. They use their superiority complex to justify their serious anger issues. Their lack of empathy shows their low emotional intelligence, which directly affects how they handle anger.“
   
   Narcissistic personalities see themselves as always being right and the only one who correctly knows how things need to be done, surprise, surprise, their way. When something deviates from how they think it should be done, strangely this reinforces their thoughts.
   
7. ‘I don’t have time for this’
   “Someone with anger issues has low tolerance for frustration, which means they feel triggered by things that other people would let slide. People who say, “I don’t have time for this,” put pressure on everyone else to meet their needs and standards, without any intention of reciprocating. Their sense of self-importance is the definitive aspect of their personality. They don’t have time to wait for a friend before leaving a party, even though that friend gave them a ride over. They don’t have time to listen to their partner share uncomfortable feelings. They don’t have time for anything besides their own anger, yet they can’t see how that anger is holding them back from feeling truly connected to everyone else in their life.”
   
   “Low tolerance for frustration” is a good way to describe someone with anger issues. They were never taught how to manage their emotions in a healthy and mature way, so their frustration with navigating life in turn ends up creating even more problems for them, as they only see people reacting to them, but they’re oblivious to what they did to trigger the responses. Being dismissive will only push the issue further out, never to get resolved, for they really won’t make time or space to resolve it because they feel too uncomfortable.
   
8. ‘I wouldn’t have to yell if you would listen’ or “Why can’t you just listen?”
   “This phrase represents hostility in action. It shows how the angry person sidesteps accountability and casts blame for their own behavior. People with anger issues say this phrase because they refuse to see that they have agency over their actions. Psychologist Nick Wignall pointed out that since “anger isn’t a very socially acceptable emotion, many people end up masking it,” which leads them to yell when it becomes too much to hide. Yelling might be misconstrued as a method of assertive action, but really, it’s a cruel form of communication that makes people feel attacked.“
   
   Blame shifting for their own frustration, letting their frustration build into full-blown anger, blaming someone else for how they express themselves.
   
9. ‘I’m not the problem, you’re the problem’ or “You’re too sensitive” or “You’re impossible”
   “People with serious anger issues often say the phrase, “I’m not the problem, you’re the problem.” Anger can stem from feelings of inadequacy or insecurity, which make people lash out anyone around them. When someone with serious anger issues exclaims the other person is the problem, it shows that they struggle to own their own feelings, so they project their emotions onto others. Projection, also known as blame-shifting, can be described as “a defense mechanism where individuals put their own unacceptable thoughts, feelings and actions onto others.“
   
   This type of reaction deflects from their own behavior and places the blame on the other person. This is a signal the angry person doesn’t want to take responsibility of their own actions, but instead need to blame others for reacting.
   
10. ‘I can’t believe I have to deal with this again’
    “People with serious anger issues say this phrase when someone brings up unresolved problems. They can barely hold space for their own feelings, let alone anyone else’s. Saying, “I can’t believe I have to go through this again,” shuts down emotionally charged conversations before they start.“
    
    Unfortunately, many issues just don’t get resolved, so when one partner legitimately tries to bring up the topic, the angry person tries to deflect, once again. They remember how things went poorly before and honestly don’t want to go through all the elevated emotions again, but they lack the skills to navigate the issue in a productive way.
    
11. ‘How hard could it be to do things right?’ or “You’re always messing things up” or “You never do anything right” or “You always ruin everything”
    “This phrase indicates that a person’s anger is about to spill out. It starts as a small leak, but before long, the floodgates will open. They’ll go from wondering why people won’t do things according to their standards to screaming so they’ll get their own way. Wignall pointed out that being hyper-critical is a sign someone is angrier than they seem. “When you criticize someone else, you implicitly communicate that you know better, which temporarily makes you feel good about yourself,” he explained.”
    
    Even if someone makes a mistake or is new at something, the angry person doesn’t have patience for anything that isn’t done their way or to their standards. This neatly eliminates all the times a person didn’t mess up and instead magnifies the issue into a continuous pattern of ineptness, even if the person is very capable. Over time, these types of phrases create harm, by chipping away at a person’s confidence and self-worth.
    
12. ‘I’m over this’ or “I’m done with this” or “I can’t deal with you right now”
    “Everyone has their limits, and establishing exactly what those limits are helps manage expectations. But saying, “I’m over this,” isn’t about setting a boundary; rather, it’s about airing their grievances in a blunt and impolite way. People with serious anger issues say this phrase without any plans to remove themselves from whatever situation is annoying them so deeply. If they were really “over it” in a constructive way, they would take space or offer suggestions on how to shift gears.“
    
    These phrases don’t necessarily indicate the relationship has come to an end, but rather they cannot handle the current emotions and they want to once again evade. Often spoken by someone who needs some space to try to feel better, it has an effect of creating emotional distance and dissonance between 2 people. This feels more like a rejection than the person needing space to process their emotions.

In “18 Common Phrases People With Anger Issues Say Without Thinking” by Josh Norris, we can add the following phrases that aren’t in the list above:

1. “I don’t care!” or “Whatever“
   “Here’s a dismissive phrase that’s often blurted out in frustration, but it can deeply hurt the person on the receiving end. Saying “I don’t care” implies that the other person’s feelings or concerns are irrelevant, even if that’s not the intended message.”
   
   Ouch. When this phrase comes out, the person is emotionally pushing themselves away from the other person, simply because they cannot bear to continue feeling their anger. Said often enough, they will actually cause distance between themself and the other person.
   
2. “This is your fault”
   “Placing blame without context or discussion is a hallmark of impulsive anger. While it might feel satisfying in the moment, this phrase rarely leads to resolution. Instead, it creates defensiveness and prevents both parties from working together constructively to solve the problem.“
   
   The need to place blame and feel blameless is very strong in emotionally immature people. The need for vindication, that they’re right is actually a trauma response, passed down from when they themselves were trated harshly or unjustly, so this out of proportion need to vindicate themselves plays a large role in their unhealed psyche.
   
3. “Get over it”
   “It’s wrong to tell someone to “get over it” because it totally dismisses their feelings and invalidates their perspective. While it might be said out of frustration, this phrase will make the other person feel disregarded or minimized.”
   
   Oof, this can be very harsh to hear. Even though they themselves may feel that an issue is in the past, other people may not be on the same timeline. Not everyone is able to or wants to compartmentalize their feelings or stuff them down, which is exactly what this phrase is commanding the other person to do.
   
4. “You’re being ridiculous”
   “To label someone’s feelings or actions as “ridiculous” immediately escalates any conflict. This phrase often comes out when anger takes over and empathy goes out the window. Instead of addressing the issue, it attacks the person, making them less likely to engage constructively.“
   
   Labeling people or insulting them is often a tactic to get the other person to back down, but it has the effect of compelling the other person to shut down so they don’t have to deal with being insulted. This type of attack chips away at the recipient’s inner worth.
   
5. “Just shut up”
   “Telling someone to “shut up” is an angry and aggressive way to silence them, which escalates conflict instead of resolving it. It’s a phrase that leaves no room for discussion or understanding, inevitably making the other person feel disrespected and hurt.“
   
   This is someone who just wants to shut down and not have to deal with the issue anymore.
   
6. “Why do I even bother?”
   “This statement conveys hopelessness and exasperation, but it also invalidates the other person’s role in the relationship. It implies that any effort to resolve the issue is pointless, which can hurt deeply when spoken in anger. It’s a phrase that leaves lasting emotional damage if repeated often.“
   
   This implies the other person is incapable of understanding or changing, so they become dismissive, basically telling the other person they’re no longer worth the time and effort to try to resolve the issue.
   
7. “Figure it out yourself”
   “This phrase, usually uttered in frustration, causes hurt by shifting the burden entirely onto the other person. While it might reflect anger over feeling unappreciated, it comes across as dismissive and uncooperative. It ends the conversation without offering any path forward.”
   
   Yes, this phrase often gets spoken in frustration, but it also has the effect of closing a door to future talking. It sends a clear message that the person has no wish to work things out or to help find a solution.
   
8. “I can’t stand you right now”
   “This phrase is deeply hurtful because it attacks the person rather than addressing the issue. While it may be said in a moment of anger, it creates lasting emotional scars and makes reconciliation more difficult. It’s a phrase that should be replaced with an effort to communicate frustrations constructively.”
   
   This one closes doors in people’s hearts. Those scars go deep.

Where does our suppressed anger or frustration come from?

We may well be dealing with people who have addiction issues, whether it’s drugs, alcohol or even workaholism, that prevents one person from fully participating in the relationship in a healthy way. These types of issues are direct causes for anger and frustration. In many families these are generational, creating layer upon layer of pain and anger. When it is unresolved, we tend to choose people who make us feel most connected to what we already know, so healing from our past is crucial for our future.

On the other hand, there are more subtle, indirect causes of anger. We can feel we’re expected to handle managing all the items in the household, handling issues with our kids and our parents, all the while we burn the candle at both ends. We accept our roles, albeit reluctantly at times, but our need for perfection will stop us from asking for help if the help given isn’t up to the very high standards we set.

So we develop resentments that stew inside of us, elevating a cocktail of chemicals produces in times of stress, that attack different parts of our bodies. These chemicals slowly attack our digestive system, altering our gut biome, which has now been proven to be ground zero for many illnesses and affects our mental health

• It is safe to ask for help!
• Be gentle with yourself, you’re doing the best you can!
• Respect your body when it’s asking you for a break. Respect your mind when it’s seeking rest.
• Just because you’re struggling does not mean you’re failing
• There’s a fine line between positivity and denial
• Health does not always come from medicine… most of the time it comes from peace of mind, peace in the heart, peace of the soul.
• If feelings could talk…
• Which is more important: being KIND or being NICE?
• There are two types of tired: one that requires rest, and the other that requires peace.

What behaviors we engage in that may point towards our suppressed anger or pain?

According to People Who Hide Their Inner Pain While Seeming Happy Exhibit These 11 Behaviors, by Barrie Davenport, these are things we may be doing that can affect our mental and physical health:

1. They Always Seem “Too Busy” to Spend Quality Time
   Overscheduling ourselves and sometimes by extension, our families, can be an indicator that we’re the ones running away from our own thoughts. It can be a way of trying to deal with difficult emotions we’re not ready to face. It can be a way that we feel better about ourselves, when in reality we don’t feel good about ourselves or our lives. Having a good balance in our schedules between activities and having down time is healthier for our bodies and mental health.
   
2. They Crack Jokes About Their Problems Like It’s No Big Deal
   “Humor can be a powerful shield. People who are hurting often use jokes to deflect attention from what’s really going on. It’s a way to share their pain without being vulnerable. If someone’s “funny” comments feel a little too personal, it might be their way of asking for help without actually asking.“
   
3. They’re Overly Concerned About Making Everyone Else Happy
   “When someone seems obsessed with pleasing others, it might stem from a fear of being a burden. They’ll go out of their way to make sure everyone around them is okay while ignoring their own needs. It’s as if they think their worth depends on keeping the peace, even if it’s exhausting.“
   
   Guess what? This is also Martyrdom! While it can give us a sense of purpose when there are elements in our lives that are out of control, ultimately it always takes a deep toll on our mental and physical health.
   
4. They Apologize Constantly, Even When They’ve Done Nothing Wrong
   Our insecurities can get the better of us, and if we’ve come from a background of severe criticism, or currently have people who are critical in our lives, we internalize being wrong, even when we’re not.
   
5. They Avoid Talking About Themselves at All Costs
   “If you notice someone always steering the conversation away from themselves, it could be a sign they’re hiding something. They’ll ask about your life, your problems, and your feelings—but when it comes to opening up, they dodge the topic. It’s their way of keeping their pain out of the spotlight.“
   
   When we’re not ready to face certain things about our lives, talking about ourselves can feel like a minefield, so everything gets stuffed down, lest we talk about it and we melt into a puddle of tears. Avoiding talking about our lives is a type of active denial, for if we were to open up, we know that people would advise us to get out of that situation. Until we’re ready, we hide.
   
6. They’re Always the First to Offer Help, Even When They’re Struggling
   “Helping others can be a distraction from their own pain. If someone is always jumping in to solve everyone else’s problems, it might be because they’re avoiding their own. It feels good to be needed, and helping others provides a temporary sense of purpose that masks their inner turmoil.“
   
   I understand this tactic very well. I certainly employed it often enough before I was able to face the changes I needed to make in my own life. In distracting myself from my own life, I was also able to use it as a way to make myself feel better when I was actually miserable.
   
7. They Downplay Their Successes Like They Don’t Matter
   “When someone shrugs off their own achievements, it’s often because they don’t feel they’re worthy of recognition. They might say things like, “It was no big deal” or “Anyone could’ve done it.” This self-deprecation can be a subtle cry for validation they’re too afraid to openly seek.“
   
   There is humility and then there’s self-effacement. Constantly downplaying ourselves can be a passive-aggressive way of getting people to jump in to reassure us.
   
8. They Seem to “Zone Out” in the Middle of Conversations
   “If someone’s attention drifts during conversations, it might not be rudeness—it could be their mind battling inner demons. They’re physically present, but emotionally, they’re lost in a whirlwind of thoughts. If this happens often, it’s worth considering that they might be silently struggling.“
   
   I have to admit I’ve done this in my past, but didn’t consider that others could also be struggling the same way! We can get triggered by something even innocuous, but it is definitely a sign of rawness that needs healing.
   
9. They’re Constantly Posting Happy Moments on Social Media
   “Overly curated social media can be a mask for pain. If someone seems to have a picture-perfect online life, it’s worth questioning whether they’re compensating for unhappiness offline. Those staged smiles and joyful captions might be hiding a much darker reality.“
   
   Something to consider, isn’t it? We see other’s curated, seemingly perfect lives and then negatively compare it to our own, not realizing that it could all be a mirage!
   
10. They Overreact to Small Inconveniences Out of Nowhere
    “When minor frustrations set someone off, it’s often because they’re bottling up much bigger emotions. That overreaction isn’t really about spilling coffee or being stuck in traffic—it’s the stress and sadness they’ve been suppressing coming to the surface. These outbursts are a crack in the façade.“
    
    I’ve long suspected this was a cause for “Karens” and “Kens” having public meltdowns.

11. They Brush Off Compliments as If They Don’t Believe Them
    “If someone struggles to accept compliments, it’s often a sign they don’t see their own value. They’ll downplay kind words or laugh them off, as if they can’t possibly be true. This behavior speaks volumes about how they view themselves—and it’s usually not in a positive light.“
    
    Our inner self talk is directly affected by how we were and are treated in our lives. If we were criticized and treated badly, we internalize it all, whether true or not, and it becomes part of how we talk to ourselves. Thankfully there are definitely steps we can take to start changing our inner self talk.

Working on our own healing

Healing is the hardest, deepest and most sacred work we can do! It is sacred, because when we heal, we change so profoundly that not only do we break old generational cycles, we can then move forward in such positive and powerful ways to impact the lives of many other people!

When I first looked at my own healing, the way forward seemed too daunting, too immense, too impossible. I felt too weak, unequal to the task. I would have stopped there, succumbed to the burdens of pain and anger I carried, but I had also reached a point where I was sick and tired of feeling the way I had been feeling, so I determined to try to tackle the mountain.

What I found was the mountain wasn’t just one impenetrable mass, it was made up of boulders, rocks, sand and dirt. I discovered that if I tried to tackle just one small thing, then the confidence I gained helped me tackle the next small thing.

Interestingly, I wasn’t doomed to a million small steps. I discovered that the more I worked on myself, the easier the next and then the next steps became. I know it sounds weird and impossible where you may stand, but simply starting SOMEWHERE, anywhere is a good thing!

I discovered along my healing journey that my chronic health issues improved substantially, my mental health improved, I learned t like and then to love myself, and my relationships improved. I felt good about setting healthy boundaries, and if people had a problem with me no longer having boundaries, I felt okay in letting them go – I no longer felt I needed to hold onto them at all costs.

The steps aren’t just progressive, they’re stackable, so all the things we learn in turn help us with our next step.

This is doable, but it does take persistence to keep picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, and trying again.

I believe in you! I believe you’re worth it. You will find your strength as you start the work, same as going to the gym incrementally helps you get stronger and fitter!
