Similiarly I find it very difficult sometimes to convey to people when they are making me uncomfortable without coming across as rude. Particularly if its someone I really don't want to not be friends with.
Personally, I don't care to strategize; or try to force things one way or the other. Sure I can tell if I piss someone off and I'll try to remedy it. But, it just seems like entirely too much effort to try to "direct" a social situation. Just be. People will like you for who you are and those who don't probably aren't worth the effort. People who are constantly performing are annoying anyhow.
