@very-rusty saidI know you struggle with this, but there is 'no' anger there for me to control.
Your statement was in the thread about crumbs.
I have never had the misfortune of meeting you in person, but I do know EVERYONE gets angy at one time or another. Controlling that anger is something which is possible by anyone!

@ghost-of-a-duke saidSome people can't feel happiness the way others do - and some of us don't feel anger as others do. Nothing strange about that.
A friend best described me as a dodgy boiler that lacked the ability to 'fire up.'
My ignition button is missing. (Perhaps why my sarcasm is so cold).
@ghost-of-a-duke saidWhat makes you think I struggle with anger goad, (have you had the misfortune to meet me?) alot of your posts you seem angry....I'm actually here either laughing or a big smile on my face when bantering with you. 😛 😉

@ghost-of-a-duke saidIt is indeed. I don't feel happy the way I did when I was younger, but sometimes - unexpectedly - I feel happy, for no apparent reason it seems. And that really makes me happy. 🙂
I think lacking the ability to experience happiness is much worse.

@torunn saidI am happy 99% of the time, but not about to say I don't experience anger at all as I do same as everyone else does! I have no problem controlling that anger at all EVER!!!

Struggle to understand, not struggle with anger yourself.

@very-rusty saidSometimes when I read a very good book, I can just stop reading for a moment and feel happiness and gratitude to the writer for taking me on that fantastic journey. At that moment I am happy.

@very-rusty saidYes, I often do but on the wrong occasions and for the wrong reasons. My fundamental anger and the reasons for it are difficult to handle.

@torunn saidHaving said that you still believe goad never has any feelings of anger?....You don't find that hard to believe?....I know he has experienced anger at one time or another rather he wants to admit it or not unless of course he some kind of a mental/physical conditon that prevents him from doing so, which he hasn't mentioned that I am aware of at this time.

Many people with Asperger's also have a seeming lack of feelings, or inability to express their feelings, which is called alexithymia. Alexithymia is the inability to express emotions or to understand others' emotions. ... Usually, they are unaware that certain sensations are actually emotions. (Doesn't sound like goad to me)!!!
