However, lately I have begun to feel that I am violating this person's free will by saying this, because every time I do, it is clear that this person doesn't even want to see how I feel about it.
Then ask permission first, do you want to know how I feel about it?
If they say "no", then respect that choice and don't tell.
If they say "yes", then tell them with full honesty.
If they got 'angry', tell them that you're not blaming them or asking or even forcing them to change.
You just telling them what you feel because they ask about it.
