In order not to make me nervous, angry


Explanation:
This is typical of people in Daraa (Syria), Jordan and Palestine. You say it when you ask someone not to do something that irritates you. You are still not angry. But if someone does something you will be angry, or nervous. Adjectives امعصب -امعصبة
