    Have you heard of this book and movement called “non violent communication”? It discusses the downfalls of ‘prediction’ and how to clearly speak personal needs and the value of having fair ground in relationships with a healthier way of communicating with the people you love.(because listening is love too)

    https://www.cnvc.org/

    Also worth reading the 10 forms of twisted thinking (prediction/mindreading is one of them) https://www.counselinglibrary.org/images/PDF_Documents/CBT_Handouts/10_Forms_of_Twisted_Thinking.pdf

    5b - Mindreading “Reading” others’ thoughts

    Description: Anxiety/sadness/anger,

    Impact: assuming the worst

    Replacement: Clear communication
