Simple question. Not sure if anyone else experiences a 'negative' emotion often and finds it starts to feel good.

Do you understand/know the source of your anger? I would venture to say that if it 'feels good' therefore implies a sense of validation for you?
Maybe the source of your anger is linked to your childhood experience of abuse from your father. As a child you were not able to 'fight back'.
I've had a problem with anger at times too, probably stemming from lack of validation, thwarted expectations, but as life is for me a spiritual journey, I've come to terms with and taken responsibility for, and have worked through these issues.
The key, for me, was to 'Know' myself and work from there.
Evolution is a lifelong journey and I've only just started to 'relax' into the unknowns and go with the flow of discovery.

Quote:The_Tired_Philosopher :
I've been angry for a long time. Its bled into this forum even. Now suddenly having fully accepted that I am an angry person now and then, I find it feels good. Good to scream and shout and rage, not so much hit though... never desired to be like that at all due to my father.

Quote:The_Tired_Philosopher :You are feeling a sense of validation.
But Anger is suddenly feeling...Good. Like 'its okay to be mad, that's who you are' kind of feel good...
Quote:Bring4th_Plenum :
Anger is mostly caused by frustration, and disappointed expectations.
I agree with Bring4th_Plenum as to this being the basis of anger.
