TOO QUICKLY ANNOYED?

Pr 12:16 A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.

Take note of how quickly and in what manner you respond to an insult.

Jas 1:19 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry

Furthermore:

Pr 29:11 A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control.

Pr 25:28 Whoever has no rule over his own spirit Is like a city broken down, without walls.

In fact only a fool always expresses how they feel. The righteous should be dispassionate to a degree. In particular being slow to anger requires an exercise of one's self-control. A person lacking in self-control has his defenses broken down and as such is open to the enemy's attack.
