It's too easy to see through people on LSD. For example, if I see someone who takes a lot of care in their appearance (clothes etc.) I see a really insecure person. I can't do it around a lot of others!!

yes, very very much so. To the point that a group doing hallucinogens can experience the same exact hallucinactions. In fact, when someone is doing hallucinoginc drugs I have seen their hallucinations when sober. This has been reported by many people. In fact S. American Shamans report the ability to make others hallucinate when under the influence of drugs.

Actually, it seems harder for me, it is easy to get what someone is saying confused, to take it to literally (or not literally enough) and body language gets all confused. At the same time, I find that a group of people will all "hit on" the same idea at the same time, which is really weird.

I find it much easier to relate (and converse) with others who are similarly effected. As to people who are 'straight' I am somewhat less empathic. I see a lot of problems as insignificant and ephemeral, and I think to myself "In about one week you won't even remember this so- called problem, so why worry about it".

Empathy is a tough one I never really grasped what it is. I am usually to fried to deal with the inter personal kind of things. I do feel connected to others and appreciate their place in my world.
