The problem with imagining that you know what other people are thinking is that it's an untestable hypothesis. So not only are you giving yourself more things to be wrong/upset about, you're also giving yourself things to be wrong/upset about that you can't learn from.

Imagining that you know what other people are thinking is a device you use to feel how you want to feel about someone, good or bad.

I tell people that I'll stop responding to them if they tell me what my motivations are a second time. It's extremely off-putting.

I'm personally not that strict but I do feel that same way. I also appreciate it if people tell me I assumed wrong.

It does depend on the tenor of the discussion. If they aren't being a dick, I'll be more forgiving.
