I find running to be therapeutic. If something's bothering me, I go to the local park and just run my anger away. Failing that, I either go to the gym, listen to angry metal like old Metallica, or play a traditionally "fun" video game like Doom.
It's a useless emotion that I gave up long ago. It's funny though that when people do shit to you and they expect you to be angry and then they realize you don't give a shit then they typically get emotional about your lack of response.

To be honest, that's actually called being depressed. It's a fairly common defense mechanism, especially if you're being picked on or whatever it is that people do to get you mad.
Sometimes it's really the best option you have for dealing with a situation you can't really control, like school, prison, whatever. But when you're out of that situation you're gonna want to deal with it. It's not something you can just turn on and off at will, and unfortunately the more time you spend in that state the easier it is to sink back into.
I know I'm being a stupid idiot for replying to what may be an off the cuff comment, but for real, depression sucks and the attitude you've expressed makes it sound like you currently are deep in it. So I'd say you'd do yourself a service by trying to find ways to expand your emotional depth. Find a place or a group who you can be comfortable with, and try to let yourself feel the emotions, rather than shoving them down.
And when you're out of the situation you're in talking to a therapist really can do wonders for people. You gotta find the right one, half of them are hippies, but if you don't take care of depression like that it can easily lead into anxiety attacks down the line as that shit you're not dealing with keeps building up.
Go running or, my personal favorite: jump in the lake in winter or a freezing bath the adrenaline rush feels like you just survived a car crash and you feel tired as shit when it wares off.
I try to vent to my friends but I have to pic my moments cause I could legit talk about work forever and I feel bad cause I can't talk about much else and I just ruin the flow of conversation it's like my special skill
