The Slow Burn
You don't flare. You build. Hours, days, weeks of accumulation before anything shows.

In relationships
When you finally express anger, it's often the accumulated three months — and the other person hears only the current week. They feel ambushed. You feel like you've been telegraphing it for ages.
Watch for
The accumulation is the trap. By the time you say it, the original cause is buried under everything that came after. The person can't address what they don't know was bothering you.
The growth edge
Practice saying small things small. The discipline isn't expressing anger differently — it's expressing it sooner, when it's still about one thing.
