HOROSCOPES

Are you by chance
a mind-reader...?

HOW TO keep a discussion
from becoming a fight?

Mind-reading is a common
trap, a good example of a com-
munication mistake that leads to a
variety of unnecessary family
shouting matches. People who
depend on mind-reading manufac-
ture trouble for themselves in a
number of ways.

Frequently, family members
believe that love will enable others
to read their minds. ‘‘if you really
loved me, you'd know...’ is what
people imply or say aloud when
someone doesn’t live up to an
unspoken expeciation.

How exactly love can turn
average women and men _ into
clairvoyants and mind readers is
difficult to understand.

Often people let mind-reading
cheat them of all kinds of pleasant
opportunities. “Oh no, he would
never agree to our going;’” or,
“Pd love to buy a boat, but she
wouldn't like that,”’ are typical
instances of ‘tmind reading.”’

Ins all) these situations, the
Speaker is rejecting pleasant sug-
gestions without considering either
his or the other person’s teelings.
What makes the speaker so posi-
tive? :

Maybe the other person has
grown, changed his mind, or is in
a different mood. Instead of run-
ning your life and basing your
decisions on what you guess is in
the other person’s mind, ask and
make sure.

Some mind-readers can be ac-
cused of making plans that in-
clude others without mentioning it
to those involved. ‘‘Well, you
should have known I was expec-
ting to...,"” or, ““Why did you do
it that way? You know I...,"’ are
the kinds of responses that you'll
get from this person.

The next time you feel someone
has let you down, review your
own behavior. Did you ever clear-
ly tell the other person what plan
or goal you had in mind? Or did
you take for granted that he or
she knew? How? Through mind-
reading?

Occasionally, someone may try
to run BOTH sides of a discus-
sion. ‘‘You’re doing that because
you think...’’ is the standard line
in this kind of argument.

The real danger in trying to run
both sides of the discussion lies in
the mind-reader deciding what the

other person thinks — and then -

becoming furious about it. Most
of us fall into that trap occa-
sionally.

When the mind-reading accusa-
tions are coming at you, you can
handle it with, ‘You can’t read
my mind. No one can. [I am the
only one who knows what I think.
Now, let me take care of telling
what | think. You teli me what
you think. That way we'll both
have accurate facts to go by.”’

Next week: ‘‘You never talk to
me: The ‘irteraction overload’
argument.’’
