Codependency Support Group
Codependency is defined as someone who exhibits too much, and often inappropriate, caring for another person's struggles. A codependent person may try to change, or feel shame about their most private thoughts and feelings if they conflict with the other person's struggles. If you are on a journey towards self-love, this support group is for you. Join us and find others...
Here are a few suggestions for communicating your negative feelings:
Don't be dramatic.
Don't wait till things build up.
Be brief.
Don't blame or lay guilt trips.
Talk about how you feel.
Ask how the other person feels.
Offer a way to save face. (For example, "Perhaps I misunderstood you," or "I know your intentions were good.")

These are great suggestions. I would add another - to examine your thoughts. Sometimes mine are just not true or they are exaggerated. When I realize and tell myself - that is not true, the feeling goes away all by itself. It takes the wind out of my sails so to speak, especially with anger.
