It isn't that simple. Imagine if someone was so afraid of heights they won't walk on a sidewalk or climb a step stool. What if they tried to overcome it and couldn't? What if it affects their daily lives in a significantly negative way. What if they want to kill themselves?
Now replace "fear of heights" with any emotion. You're right, it's normal to be anxious(or angry, sad, etc) every so often but what if it's all the time?
In my opinion people like you aren't really ignorant, you know there are people who struggle intensely with emotions, you just don't have empathy. Since you don't suffer from constant anxiety you think others must not either, that's it's the same level as yours and they should overcome it.
