Notice when you're assigning motives to someone without asking them. You decide they're mad at you or don't care, but you never checked. With family especially, you're often replaying old conclusions you made years ago that still feel like facts. Ask: am I reacting to what's happening now, or to a version of this person I decided was true a long time ago?
