"You" statements are often read as accusatory, consider the "I" statement: "I need you to calm down because I'm becoming stressed by your attitude"

"I feel stressed with your attitude" is the I statement. It needs to start with your feelings on a particularly situation.

Even better is one that doesn't include an accusation. "I feel stressed when you get upset over stupid shit" works better if you keep it to "I feel stressed when you get upset." -- keeps the discussion on feelings instead of openning it up for an argument on stupid shit.
