ANGER

I was looking up "anger" on the internet recently and was surprised to see no consensus on whether anger is a secondary or a primary emotion.

I am thinking it is both.

If I am just an angry person, I could consider that anger is a primary emotion. But, if I am angry about another emotion, then anger is secondary. For example, I could feel guilty (primary) that I am a failure, and that may make me angry (secondary).

It makes a difference when, on the road to managing our emotions, we try to understand them. The best way to understand an emotion is to determine if it is a primary emotion (one that is a reflection on ourselves) or a secondary emotion (an emotion due to a primary emotion). If we can nail that down, we will better understand our emotions which will prepare us to manage our emotions. If you need help figuring out what your primary emotion is, please leave a message on the contact page.
