It's a bit tricky to explain, but I'll hope this might help:
Doing tiring things will make you tired.
Encountering an annoying person might make you annoyed.
Annoying is what you or other people might describe something or someone as.
Annoyed is a feeling.
"Annoyed and "tired" are emotional states (like angry, happy, sad), whereas "annoying" and "tiring" are describing something or someone (like saying "That was a happy/annoying/tiring movie").
