With fellow humans, do you always think _ judge what others are thinking / feeling about things / others?

1. Is this normal for humans? If it is, do aspies have it more?

2.Even though factually we know it is not possible to "read what goes on in others' mind", it seems their behavior proves that their thoughts must be as such.

I believe the natural inclination to think what others are thinking, gives the stress that aspies feel in social situations.

I have a need to categorize people. I also tend to plot people on a graph where some people are in the middle and others are on the fringes for different topics. I judge but I don't think that is a good thing. I believe my goal should be to try to discern what is reality.

I have read and been told that over focusing on what others and the self are thinking and feeling in an interaction is consistent with avoidant personality disorder.

I can't tell what other people are thinking/feeling and usually don't even think about it or are aware that they even have thoughts/feelings unless they tell me.
