It's OK to be angry. It's not OK to take that anger out on someone.
Unless, of course, they are the ones who generated the anger in you - at which point they are fair game...
Actually, no. The point of not letting your emotions dictate your actions is because you then lose control of yourself.
I didn't say it was OK to lose control but it is just fine to be angry and it is just fine to let it show to the person who generated that anger.
There isn't a single emotion that should be allowed to manifest itself unfettered but all should be allowed to show.
There is a point where you must control your emotions.
Become angry that you got a ticket, and you will find more trouble.
Become angry in court that the decision did not go your way trouble again. Expressing anger at a boss,teacher,supervisor,or anyone you report to is always counterproductive. Anger management is a real phrase/phenomenon. I did not just make it up
If your gizmo broke and you come to me for help in anger you will get zero assistance from me. Come to me calmly and I will do all I can to help you.
