Care & Feeding of the [Lyn]...
Painting with broad strokes, it's generally a good idea to not tell me things unless I ask for information. I'm a bright girl; I know a lot of common knowledge things and am good about asking for information when I don't know something. I get irritated when I'm told things that a moment's thinking should suggest I already know.
But, worse that that... ye gods, don't ever tell me what I'm thinking, what I want, what I'm feeling. Not to put too fine a point on it, but you don't know. Yo're not in here, and assuming you know what I want/feel/think more than I do is an onforgivable arrogance.
Feel free to suggest that my words and my actions don't seem to be in line, of course ("You said you liked him, and then you spit in his coffee. That doesn't seem to make any sense" but not "Bah, you don't like him!")
