Try not to overreact to difficult situations. By remaining calm it will be more likely that others will consider your viewpoint. Express feelings in words, not actions. Telling someone directly and honestly how you feel can be a very powerful form of communication. Be specific about what is bothering you.
Vague complaints are hard to work on.
Deal with only one issue at a time. Don't introduce other topics until each is fully discussed. Attacking areas of personal sensitivity creates an atmosphere of distrust, anger, and vulnerability. Accusations will cause others to defend themselves. Instead, talk about how someone's actions made you feel.
