Keys to Remember When you think someone makes you feel a certain way, the underlying message is that they are a puppet master over you, giving and taking away certain emotions. Saying someone makes you feel something is also a verbal attack on that person. It’s okay to hold them responsible for their words or actions, but not for your feelings. Instead of saying You make me feel, say I feel. If you want to elaborate, say When [X], I feel [Y]. For example, When [you don’t follow up on your word], I feel [frustrated].
