Hi Alesta - I'm sorry. I don't understand.

To me "I found it maddening" IS an "I" statement.

So - in order to "reflect your feeling" - and just to clarify (I'm not trying to be difficult), would one say "I felt mad"

or "when I read that I felt mad"

or "I felt mad when I read that" ?

Thx for clarifying & sorry if I'm dense.

I'd like to say, & I hope this is OK:

After I read that initial post, I felt really upset about some of the things that were said. To me they seemed insulting & not kind. ? Is that an OK way to word it?

Thx Kath
