mabpac, I have a similar experience as both you and the thread-starter. The 'friends' are just sheep in my view - i.e. they follow the HPD person because he/she has influence over them. I do not care for such people anymore, and I have no problem losing a friend if they are weak-minded (like the sheep are).

It's certainly a difficult thing to do, especially if these mutual friends are in any way easily led-on by people (such as the person with HPD). In life, there are two people: People who follow others; and people who lead. I get the feeling that these mutual friends are the following type. My advice to you would have been to just wait it out but if you want to try something, then focus on the 'weakest' person of the group and contact them. by 'weakest', I mean the most easily led. If you can make headway with him/her, then that could be your way back in.
Let me know what you think.

Kevin,
I was thinking about this. While I'm not planning on saying anything at the moment, I think it would make sense to focus on someone who was already a bit suspicious of the hpd. They are probably someone who is a little less easily led on. If you were to focus on someone who is more easily led on, I think it would be difficult to get them to disbelieve the hpd's manipulations.
In either case, since most people know nothing about hpd, the actions and motives of an hpd tend to come across as an unlikely story. It's only once an hpd starts acting crazy towards you that you start to really think about it.

Hi,
I'm glad that you see some potential from my suggestion. Are you going to give it a try eventually? Ultimately, you should first get into a mode of thinking that says: "I don't care about this group of people anymore". If you can get to that level of thought, then you have already beaten the group of people, but most importantly the HPD.
