Have you ever noticed how quickly we mislabel our own anger as “anxiety”?..
The current wave of UK pop culture, from RAYE to JADE, is giving us a front-row seat to something psychology has known for a long time: women are deeply exhausted from keeping the peace.
When we are conditioned to believe that expressed anger makes us “difficult” or “unreasonable,” our bodies do something clever (and exhausting): they internalise it. That rage gets converted into:
⚡ High-functioning anxiety
⚡ Over-explaining your boundaries
⚡ Chronic guilt when you say “no”
⚡ Somatic tension (jaw clenching, stomach knots)
Anger isn’t a “dangerous” emotion. It’s an informational boundary signal. It’s your nervous system’s way of saying: “This isn’t fair, and I deserve respect.”
