I was diagnosed with SPD but I doubt I have it

Yes.

I also occasionally test to see if I've developed telekinesis. You never know.

Haha, same.

2) Have you ever felt like someone (someone particular) may secretly fell in love with you (or just likes you)?

Number 1 is getting into the Schizotypal realm but no, never considered someone could read my mind. When I talk, I usually start where my mind left off like someone should know what I know but I think that is different. Like naps, I consider telekinesis but have been unsuccessful so far.

As for number 2, sometimes I imprint a fantasy on someone I see. I guess I consider that they love or like me. I think everyone does this.

I also used to scream in my head at people to see if I had the shining.

I doubt everyone does it, most people in my opinion just don't think about that. I think people might consider this only after they talked to this woman/man, they're socially insecure, or just narcissistic. movies and Tv shows portray it like that. though I can't relate to either of what I mentioned.

Ahhhh. I don't play video games. Now, I'm smiling at the appropriateness of this appropriation.

I bet you did.

I sometimes play a game inside of myself with random strangers or casual acquaintances.

I'll internally intensely feel a feeling or think a thought, but maintain a neutral appearance on the outside as we interact, and see if they can pick up on anything, or if I can detect that my internal intense experience changes anything re our exchange.

From what I have seen, NPC is also a derogatory term for "normies". It's interesting because NPC poster is hardly a conformist. I think that is irony? I don't really understand irony so it's only a guess.

OK, now I am offended. On behalf of 'normies'.
Seems to me that squaredonutwheels might also be a derogatory term for misshapen donuts, so perhaps you should be offended too.
