This kind of anger we often use as a hiding place. Acting it out is simply another way to keep it unconscious or to not feel it. When it gets triggered, we blame others and see them as responsible for our bitterness.
Anger takes many forms--disappointment, resentment, bitterness, jealousy. When we project it mindlessly in the direction of someone else, making it about them rather than about us, we disown a piece of ourselves and lose the potential to learn about how we really feel.
We need to become more capable of owning our own anger.
"We condemn others and that very condemnation is a justification of ourselves. Without some kind of attitude whether self rightous or self abasement, what are we?"
