The upside to anger? Getting it out of your system. You got to express your anger. Then you have room for more positive things. If I hold something in a long time, and then I speak it, it's amazing how the light shines so much brighter.
You must stand for something! It does not have to be grand, but it must be a positive that brings light to someone else's darkness.

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!

Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.
However, people need to understand that it ain't that deep to try and convince people of what your persona is. You are who you are, and what you are will show in time.
