incavolarsi


Explanation:
E' un termine piuttosto familiare che vuol dire arrabbiarsi, irritarsi, seccarsi. Darei questa traduzione sbarazzina, se può essere adatta al contesto

coltivare la propria rabbia / irritazione


Explanation:
penso che qui non si dica tanto che il personaggio era irritato, arrabbiato ecc., quanto che lui stesso desiderava esserlo o apparirlo. Infatti nella frase seguente non si dice che piangeva, ma che fingeva di piangere.

Tradurrei qualcosa come:
Ricordo quando da adolescente pensavo che la mia ragazza mi ingannasse e coltivando la mia rabbia fingevo di piangere / mi sforzavo di piangere
