They expect me to read their mind. Is this possible?

Actually, yes!

Or, at the very least, sort of. Relationship intelligence is not only about understanding your own deep needs and teaching them to another; it is also about learning to understand the needs of another in a relationship. Many of us have experiences that have taught us what to expect from others, and this is the source of one major problem:

We interpret the present based on our past. Because your mind knows what has happened before, it uses these past experiences to make sense of what is happening in your current relationships. Thus, you do not understand the person before you; you stereotype them based on your past. Not only does this cause you to be stuck in a loop of what has come before, but it also prevents you from “getting” the person they deeply need from you.

A central principle of Relationship Intelligence is developing the relational mindset to approach a deep understanding of both yourself and the other person. By doing this, you will begin to anticipate their needs and can more precisely meet their needs. The benefit? Not only does this vital person get what they need from you, but they will no doubt express the increased intimacy, responsiveness, and validation because it gives you a massive helping of what you need!
