inferring and implying

I am a very honest and blunt person so I can’t help but say what I’m thinking or how I feel about something. However because I have a need to put my opinion into everything I often imply things. Such as the other day my roommate borrowed my brand new laptop to watch a show on it she was too lazy to buy herself. When I saw her using it I was so annoyed but didn’t feel like getting into an argument by making her give me my computer so instead I said, “I have a paper to write in a few minutes.” I went down stairs and made a snack and when I got back my computer was on my bed even though she hadn’t finished watching the show. This was followed by her saying, “I don’t know what you were so mad about.” My roommate gave me back my laptop right after I left the room because I implied that I would need that specific computer to write my paper despite the fact that there are new computers downstairs in our house for homework. She then went on to infer that I was mad at her since I left the room so hastily.
