I'm finding it difficult to navigate the path between honestly sharing my feelings and laying on a guilt trip. It's not easy to decide when I've moved from letting someone know how they've hurt me to giving unnecessary details so that they'll be hurt. Any hints?

hints...well...not really...
But I do know what you're talking about. When is it honestly sharing your feelings to facilitate openness, communication, and such, and when is it communicating hurt for the purposes of creating hurt, of making more hurt to go around in order to have company?
A thin line I guess...
so easy to want to make someone feel guilty. i know it well. so very well. so the question for me is to ask what it means to share your feelings honestly and if i can do that without trying to lay a guilt trip. and the question is also for me to ask why i need to share my feelings in the first place.
If you are hurt let them know, tell them the full facts. Most people are not monsters and would prefer to known how to avoid hurting you again
