Your Type
When angry, you calmly list the problems, clearly stating right, wrong, and your bottom line, as if conducting a rational negotiation. This overly calm "logical armor" is actually a shell you put on to avoid "loss of control and vulnerability"; you fear that if you let pure emotion show, you'll appear weak or unjustified, so you must package every ounce of anger into an unassailable argument. But relationships aren't courtrooms; they don't always need a winner and loser. Try dropping the logical analysis in your next argument and simply saying, "This made me very sad"; when you learn to let soft emotions flow, the other person can truly hear your heart.
