Are we talking the occasional getting really annoyed, or an almost every day thing?

If occasional, you really just either need to remove yourself from the situation or find something to ease yourself back down. If it's jerks in the road for example, maybe try a different route. It may be longer, but less stressful. It just let then hold onto the anger. Just because they're unhappy and being rude, just nice side and let them go on. Don't let then make their problem yours.

If we're talking every day, you need to find the core of that if you want to feel better. I got help after 20 years of never being able to let go of my emotional damage. It would just keep adding up like an unbearable weight on me. I went to the doctor and finally just spoke up about it. Now for about $5/mo, I don't have that burden to bare anymore. I didn't really have huge issues, I just had some chemical issues that needed a nudge and now I can deal with the everyday crap without it crushing me.

My SO had more severe issues that got them arrested and they totally lost control and would forget days on end and such due to untreated bipolar disorder. After being voluntarily committed, life got back on track and they'll be graduating college soon due a good career. It still takes regular therapist visits and a DBT support group, but it keeps everything working properly now.

If you need help, don't be afraid. I felt for years I could get help, but that pills would make me a zombie. I found something that works for me though, and it feels amazing. I've lost so many friends and special people and opportunities because I was mad or antisocial for nothing.

This ran longer than intended. Hopefully your issues aren't of the every day variety, but if they are, know you have options.
