Angry or sad?

When you're upset about life, do you get angry or sad? I tend to be very angry about whatever situation is upsetting me, even if a "normal" reaction would be to be sad. I also outwardly blame others, even though I usually feel like whatever's happening is my fault.

I think it is a mix of both. Anger doesn't help me sometimes I have a quick temper and get feisty (meow (''') ). A lot of the times I am scared to show my anger because I'm afraid of the reactions so it ends up being sadness. I find that keeping to myself = less consequences.

Sad.
I'm always sad. I very rarely get angry about anything unless I'm angry at myself.

I'm always sad, I very rarely get angry. I blame myself, not others, as almost always it's my fault (because I'm cool like that).

Sad mostly I guess. It's hard not to feel a little angry - I think that's a natural response that most people have to some degree - but ultimately who or what are you going to be angry at? If anything, it tends to manifest as more of a feeling of numbness or hopelessness rather than sadness or anger for me.

My emotions have gone in patterns. Once I turned 13, I'd get angry all the time. At 18, it started to be a combination of angry and sad, but mostly angry. Nowadays I don't really "freak out" about situations I can't control anymore. If I become stressed, it's either completely internal or an appropriate amount of anger or sadness.

sad most of the time but the only trouble is I don`t know how to show my emotions to other people so most people think I am angry when I am just sad.

Sadness, mostly. If something is supposed to anger me (e.g. rising petrol prices), it'll end up just making me sad (another way families are struggling).

Usually sad. I feel sad pretty much all the time.
I dont get angry often - I am slow to anger - but I guess I do have a tendency to get confused and annoyed a bit fairly often.

Both. I get angry, then I get sad. Or I will feel sad, then get angry. I also get irritated quite easily which just leads to my becoming angry. I fear I will get a stroke one of these days...

I'm definitely more sad than angry, but I also have a lot of suppressed anger that comes out sometimes. I used to really scare myself with how angry I could get, but recently I've been better at expressing myself rather than burying everything and having it boil over.

Both. It is the anger that eats away at my soul.

Sad. Rarely angry- even when I should probably be. Maybe because when I was younger (like under 10) I would get angry, but the way I expressed it (beating up my siblings) was inappropriate- so I somehow made a subconscious decision to never get angry. And for the most part, I don't. On the rare occasions that I do get a little angry, it just manifests as frustration/sadness, because I don't ever feel like I can do anything about it.
