This is the most common negative emotion everybody comes across. This is usually an aggressive stance where we are sure that our perspective is perfect and whatever others have to say against it is wrong. Getting angry is something normal, but if you have a feeling that you are getting angry too much you might need to analyze the situation and look at positive strategies to get your way.

2.Annoyance

This can be considered a weak form of anger. This is a situation where the behavior of a specific person provokes you and you are not able to stand the situation. This usually happens when you are dealing with a person with whom you do not have a lot of similar tastes. Annoyance can come in to play when you are not able to accept differences in individuals you deal with.
