I've been experiencing noticing this process over the last year or two:
I have been doing this wierd emotional reframing thing with people. it is more like faith or emotion based. litterally, I just see how other people respond and then emotionally work backwards from there to see how their inner emotional world must work for that to be an appropriate response. like an emotional epiphany.
it happens like all at once and i just "see it" in my head. an emotion. or maybe it is a value? also, i think I might be projecting them onto other people I interact with... especially by email/text. I don't know how to explain it, but I see stuff that they then later do that would be directly attributable/explainable to it being the reverse of an emotional reframe. or the reverse of how I pick it up from them, like an emotional/value projection.
I've been off and on adderall for last year or two. so I thought it was just because of adderall. I don't know if that is close to psychopathy, or if that is completely normal and called being open minded. but it is really wierd every time it happens. also it is very distinct AND very "strong" when it happens. almost like a complete transfer of value sets or something. though not necessarily both ways, sometimes I'm receiving and sometimes I think I have projected it.
and it's not like "becareful how you act because it affects other people". it's like litterall with meaning, like "becareful how you act cause it changes who people are at their cores and what they believe and value and do". and I see this in a wierd disassociated state... of course I've been a little wierdly overly stressed lately too. is this normal for HPD?
does that make any sense at all what I'm talking about? or am I litterally looney?

I am not sure i captured everything. I don't think you are a looney. I do think it is perhaps common for HP to think they can see inside another persons head, then manipulate their desired words, actions and reactions for the person to react in a particular way (or perhaps in your case you are just observing). In my experience also, although HP are good at assessing others thoughts, needs and what not to a point, i can only be achieved to a certain depth of granularity, after which it fails.
