What do you do to turn the conversation into something more productive, when other people put words in your mouth, start assuming that you have intentions that are actually far from what you actually have, start saying
"this is where you come from"
"you are clearly saying"
"i can read your intention"
etc.

How do you solve these issues when you're right inside the conversation and the other person keeps insisting that he can "read my intentions", which are misunderstood?

Finally, what do you do if such a situation escalates to the point that the other person is no more open to communication and says something like,
"I no longer wish to talk with you."

How do you break through that kind of ice?
