A short YouTube monologue (uploaded by Daniel Borschel) arguing that saying "I'm not an angry person" rejects a part of yourself and prevents building a relationship with emotions. The speaker emphasizes the need to acknowledge primal emotions, allow oneself to cry, and become acquainted with deeper feelings like anger and sadness.
I'm not an angry person is a blatant non acceptance of who you are. So you're not wanting to be something into the world. And by doing that, you're not acknowledging something very deep within you and primal within you. You can't build a relationship with an emotion if you haven't taken the time to get to know that emotion. If you haven't let yourself cry, then tears are a stranger. You have to allow yourself to at least become an acquaintance with some of those deeper emotions.
