hello n welcome to our world :) when i get angry i get angry with myself. i hold it in until i am about to burst then when the people closest to me usually my mother or fiance step on my toes i burst. and then i get even more angry with myself.
I hold it in until I burst, too - but very little makes me angry, so it usually just builds and then suddenly gives out because anger exhausts me too much.
I can't even remember the last time I exploded at someone. This might sound weird, but I almost wish I could ... though I can't really explain why. Maybe just to prove that I can. ::shrug::
(On a completely unrelated note - Josh Groban is wonderful.)
I think I'm a weird INFP when it comes to anger, as I've got this wonderful thing my mother calles an Irish temper. The thing is, there isn't much that makes me very angry, but there are two or three special things that will set me off, badly (insulting my intelligence is the big one), and I will shout and throw things and slam doors and scream into pillows... doesn't happen very often though. Generally when something aside from those two or three things makes me angry, I do write, interestingly enough. I get this awful tightness in my chest that I feel is going to devour me until I get it out somehow.
when it comes to anger, I either don't get that way or I don't recognise it when I do. The vast majority of my experience of negative emotion is with depression, with the occasional bit of stress (usually from lack of sleep). The only time I can think of where I have been angry in the last few years, was when a good friend, who should've known better, started to ridicule my values.
I think that knowing there are reasons for peoples actions and for the events that can cause anger, is usually enough for me to be able to sit back and let it slide. Besides, depression is more addictive for me, anger just feels horrible.
On another note, I hate labels too, but this one I accept wholeheartedly :). In a way it validates my character (not that this should be necessary, but, y'know..), and makes me feel like less of a freak.

Of course, I might just be weird.
