How Can You Tell Me What I Mean?!?

So this is one of my biggest pet peeves. If you know me at all, you know that I care about how I treat and talk to people and I take extra special care not to offend anyone. That's why it burns me to the core whenever someone attempts to tell me what I meant when I said something to them.

And the most disrespectful part of that is having someone tell you that's not what you meant after you try to explain yourself. How can you tell me what I meant when I'm the one who said the thought? Unless you're some kind of mindreader, trust and believe that what I say is what I mean.

I don't attempt to place my own judgment on anyone elses thoughts and I sure don't expect anyone to be able to do it to me.
