Be good with conflict

I am terrible with conflict, I am the  best at just getting mad at people, or sweeping it under the rug or adjusting my expectations so I don't have to deal with issues at hand.

My boss is amazing with conflict. Unreal in how amazing he is at conflict. Whenever I get mad at him, or am just mad in general, or having a rough day, he just knows, I can barely ever get my negative emotions past him (even when I try really really hard to)
 He somehow finds me in a spot where its just the two of us and checks in. If I am mad at him, he gets me to say why I am mad at him, if its something else, he ready does help me figure out my emotions with it and comes up with a plan of action.

I have been mad and hurt for almost a week, and today, my boss caught me in the office alone and talked to me about it.

He was annoyed at the things that were bothering me. I knew that he would be. And even though he thought my emotions were ridiculous and he probably not valid at all. He listened to what I had to say, explained why he was doing what he was doing, and apologized.  Then he started to include me.

There is a lot of change on the horizon. I am not apart of the change, which is really hard for me. My value at work is decreasing tremendously. While my value decreases, I feel like I am still in burn-out land. Which makes all emotions a mess. And now I have hurt feelings about things I shouldn't care about. I am thankful, that my boss, who helps me see the light to my emotions, apologizes, and adjusts, even when it isn't necessary.
