Delayed emotional processing

Was browsing reddit and saw in a post someone said "I grew up in a home where I wasn't allowed to show my emotions and anger, so my big problem is my very delayed emotional processing and response" HOLY SHIT

I wasn't allowed to express any emotions at home or in the group home. I had to gray rock everyone always. It was self-preservation: any vulnerability would be used against you. But anger of any kind would be punished. We weren't allowed to be anything but submissive and happy.

I am very slow to get angry. It sometimes takes me some time after the thing happens, to be angry about the thing. I am not slow to anxiety but I think I am probably slow to emotional response in general.

I hadn't connected it to my upbringing. Interesting.
