As far as I’ve been told, that’s an extension of their inability to regulate emotions. They aren’t more in tune with other’s emotions, but rather, their emotional responses to other’s emotions is stronger than the average person.
People with bpd aren’t sensing other people’s emotions more, they are reacting to it more due to their dysregulation.
I dashed for a bit during the pandemic and I had this one older lady a couple times just order a big gulp from the 7-Eleven a couple minutes away with a $5 tip. She explained to me she ran a business from home and this was essentially a charitable act because she felt blessed in a situation that sucked for most people. Super nice lady.
Also once had an old man in a rich neighbourhood give me a $20 for a pizza that was about 5 minutes away, he said he has more money than he knows what to do with lol.
Also also, delivered some McDonald’s late at night probably 1 am or something. This girl in her 20s was sitting out front hitting a bong and asked if I’d take a toke as a tip lol
It was honestly kinda fun to do on the side when I was bored and wanted to feel like I was being productive
