While in a conversation tracking how the other person is trying to interpret the motives behind what I’m saying and trying to control that by what I say. This can get multiple levels of complex fast. I recently had a really important conversation and I ended up saying things like “I mean exactly what I’m saying” and “I’m not anxious, I just can’t afford to let you misunderstand me”. Unfortunately this made it seem like I was definitely anxious, and meant something other than I was saying.
