Trust / security in the child-parent bond.
I think trust is in play, but there's also a matter of how literally people take language. Some people are much more literal about language than others, This might be an independent personality factor, or it might be a matter of lack of trust in one's ability to understand body language, tone of voice, etc.
Anecdatum: I was pretty literal, and pretty terrible at understanding nonverbal communication.
