Anger is typically a reation-to-an-emotional-reaction or a most-feasible way to express self... so more likely a 'mask' than honest emotional response.. my primary emotion that I repressed was anger that came out as sadness and being weepy. If it's used as a mask due to difficulty being honest about what one really feels, that could be an imbalance, no? E.g., some women are socialized to present 'sad' and 'cry' bc it's unacceptable to present angry, tho anger is their primary/latent emotions.
