Yeah ive been told im being manipulative when i try to avoid these accusations by preloading the situation so to speak. You cant have it where you are perfect and always anticipating and trying to cancel out the other person's response. How is that a fair adult relationship? Its not, its childish. I never do anything wrong.

Ya I was quite defensive when I first heard it was a form of manipulation as manipulative as such a negative connotation to it but it's true. We are trying to get someone to act or feel a certain way' even if we think it's for the right reasons. With awareness and and the development of a greater sense of self it has improved.
I'd think this type of mind reading and preempting usually always comes from child hood fears and maladaptive patterns we have developed which I guess could be called childish.
