Our friends, family and partners can't read our minds. For us to get angry at them because they can't read our minds is a mistake. We need to tell them what we want and not assume they should know what that is. And if we don't understand their words and/or actions, we don't stay in our mind and guess what their true feelings and intentions might be. We ASK and begin a conversation rather than not ask and harbor resentments that damage relationships.
