Noami, you've just described me in this article. I tend to assume that my boyfriend know what I'm thinking and get extremely cranky when I realised that he doesn't.<br><br>I think most of the time, I was more cranky at myself for not setting the right expectation than at him for not able to read my mind. It's definitely something to keep in mind when we communicate with other people.<br>
Bao, I guess I described you -- and myself -- and no doubt many others. This tendency to expect others to know what we're thinking is a common human foible. I can relate to your comment about being cranky at yourself. When I get annoyed with my husband for not knowing what I was thinking or what I wanted, deep down I know it's myself I'm annoyed with. Most of us, I guess, are a bit deficient as mind readers. ~Naomi
I can relate to your comment about being cranky at yourself.
Thanks for your comment, Joy. I have a feeling a lot of us can relate to this cranky-at-myself thing. Our first reaction is often to accuse someone else, but if we really think about it, we realize we're actually annoyed with ourselves, not the other person. ~Naomi
Great! The articles so far have been full of great material. Glad to hear the serious will continue. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks so much, Joy. I do intend to keep 'em coming! ~Naomi
