Mind reading is an irritating distortion. This happens when someone decides they know what you are thinking. For some reason, it’s usually something negative and untrue. If you tell them they are projecting, they probably won’t understand. If you tell them what you are really thinking, they may actually argue with you, as if they know what you’re thinking and you don’t. If they think you’re lying, what more can you say? So you see how irritating this meta-model violation can be.
