Killing With Kindness

I have this thing (that's completely awful) where if I'm mad, sad, upset, etc with someone I don't let them know it. Instead I kill them with my killer smile and charm. I just laugh and smile through unbearable situations but the other person has no idea. It's one of my worst curses (qualities-- passive aggressiveness is not attractive!!) These people have no idea that they've hurt me or that I'm still angry about something they've done because I just smile it off. It's the worst. But! I'm working on it! I'm learning that just being honest and letting people know that --hey! I don't like how you made me feel or treated me works wonders. If I let people know how they've made me feel in the moment then we can go on to figuring out either how to best work things out or not. Being able to be honest completely takes away killing with kindness because it really can hurt you and even worse the other person.
