A far preferable strategy to either expressing anger or repressing it is just to develop a certain intellectual detachment from yourself, other people, and the immediacy of life, so that whatever happens it doesn't engage you in any strong emotional way so that you have to suppress or censor your feelings.
You have to be careful with that tact though, people may come to see you as a weak link, and you will then have lots of others unloading their repressed anger at you; (even if you aren't the primary target) also, very few people are capable of intellectual detachment, so others may come to view you as eccentric and weird, which could further the problem.
