if you want people to be honest with you when you do something that makes them uncomfortable or want people to tell you when they're upset with you, then you have to
make yourself a safe person to talk to. not just physically, but emotionally. obviously don't threaten suicide, but like. remember that they're telling you because they want to keep the relationship. remember that them telling you is better than them keeping it a secret. let them know you're listening, apologize, and let them know you'll work on it. if it's a small thing (eating your roommate's snacks, using a slur you can reclaim that makes them uncomfortable in their presence), you can leave it there. if it's a bigger thing, talk to them about it calmly, and help them with figuring out a solution. remember, they're nervous about this too. if you need a break from the conversation, tell them directly, let them know you'll be back. all in all, be mature about it, keep your own guilt/shame/rejection sensitivity in check, and treat this as a mutual trust building activity, rather than a trial
know when someone is being unreasonable. some people want you to just stop being yourself, or to make yourself small, or to just stop existing in ways that inconvenience them. for example, i used to know someone who got really embarrassed when i ticced in public. she'd talk me about it and tell me i had to go hide in the bathroom whenever i felt a tic coming on. she was perfectly calm, using the "you're making me uncomfortable" format, but like, that's obviously an unreasonable ask for someone with brain damage. ultimately the solution was me not hanging out with her anymore. it's not going to be as obvious as that all the time, but some people will use the "i'm uncomfortable" thing for things that are actually perfectly fine for you to keep doing. sometimes preserving the relationship isn't an option.
