Just an additional thought on not" mind reading". ( believing some one doesn't mean what they say and try to figure out what they '"really mean"). It is way too much pressure and is a tell-tale sign of unhealthy thought processes.
If you know someone is "lying" to you about how they feel or what they want or what they can do, and you feel the need to "read their mind" and try to discern what they are really feeling inside, you can still do that if they are fragile perhaps, but tell them and call them on it. Do this enough times and it may start to sink in.
We need to be able to believe and trust what people say.
If mind reading is unhealthy and it is, so is being dishonest about your wants and needs and expecting others to believe you. People can be pretty perceptive.
We are to be an honest people.

One of the initial thoughts on Mind Reading is...
Don't do it! We have to go with what people say to us, to believe their words. That is how it needs to work, and vise versa of course.
