I often have a problem with repressing feelings and having delayed emotional reactions to events. I also sometimes have trouble showing my feelings to others even when I'm aware of them.
I've noticed it's hard for me to get angry at people when I'm actually around them, even when I consciously realize something is unfair or my boundaries have been crossed. Then when I'm alone it will sink in and my anger will flare up, and a lot of it is self-directed for letting myself become this smiling marshmallow/human bean-bag chair.
Have you tried finding some way to reasonably disagree or voice your displeasure? Your anger may still flare, but you can merely get a word in to get them thinking about your feelings and boundaries. Maybe tell a friend and have them help you in the instance. It's obviously more complicated than that and more difficult but I think it would help you feel less anger towards yourself.
