But what's the fundamental emotion then? What is anger derived from?

  It can be derived from a bunch of them, depending on the situation. If you call an Uber and it's 30 minutes late almost causing you to miss the flight, the fundamental emotions could be anxiety, fear, annoyance, distraught, dismayed, restless, nervous, etc. Anger arises from the narrative your brain tells itself to explain those emotions. Such as: The Uber engineers didn't model rush hour traffic in this area well! How are they paid so much more than me? Fundamental emotions don't require the existence of another person.

  Typically fear or sadness (not making this up, this is how it’s taught in psychology)
