I often tell my clients, "Just because someone is mad at you doesn't mean you did something wrong". Growing up in dysfunctional and codependent families we are programmed to believe that if someone is upset you made them upset because of something you did. As adults we ruminate about it, wondering what we did and if it was wrong and asking others for reassurance. We can recognize that it probably means that you set a boundary and they didn't like it. It could be that they are angry about something else that has nothing to do with you.
