To be honest, when I was severely manic and psychotic...I couldn't care less about how others were feeling. My delusion was that I was God's "Chosen One", and I felt on top of the world...while experiencing paranoia and some hallucinations. Not a good combo!

Because I had this unusually high self-esteem, I was very self-focused. If people's moods around me were different, I probably didn't even notice.
