How do you respond to someone who hurt you feelings?
First of all, feelings are valid and shouldn't be disregarded - and don't feel bad about them. Secondly, does the other person know how s/he made you feel?
Communicating our feelings is tricky because, if done in the heat of the moment, it can across as resentful and/or confrontational; so it's best done when you're both calm and then...
A) state what happened ('You know when...')
B) say how it made you feel ('That made me feel...')
C) say what would have made you feel better ('I would have preferred...' / 'It would have been better if...')
The other person needs to be in a receptive mood and you need to be calm and in control of your thoughts and feelings. Being assertive rather than aggressive or confrontational shows that you respect the other person and that you're making your expectations in a reasonable manner.

They always reach their destination.
