Mind Reading is a kind of [[Distorted thinking]] where, without their saying so, we know what people are feeling and why they act the way they do. In particular, we are able to divine how people are feeling toward us. Mind reading depends on a process called projection. We imagine that people feel the same way we do and react to things the same way we do. Therefore, we don't watch or listen carefully enough to notice that they are actually different. Mind readers jump to conclusions that are true for them, without checking whether they are true for the other person.
