No one is a mind reader, Ruby. That's what you do not understand. I cannot read anyone's mind. If I believe I know what someone else is thinking, that's not only a cognitive distortion but it's a danger to my relationship with them because I'm not giving them the autonomy of their own thoughts.

Whoever is thanking your post that you can read minds isn't doing you any favors either.

No one can read another person's mind. None of us are mind readers, at all. When we assume we know what someone else is thinking, we get into a lot of trouble, just like you have.
