Is it less natural to say "you made me angry" than to say "you angered me"?

I'm quite confused to hear it, because I have learned and heard the sentence "you made me angry" or "he made her angry". But recently, I've heard that these are inappropriate sentences and native speakers prefer "you angered me" or "he angered her". Then I as an English learner should avoid saying "you made me angry"? Is it so unnatural and does it seem not influent?
