I feel that for many people it simply comes more naturally.

It's a seamless scale and I just presume I'm missing some receptors others have socially so I have to compensate with templates.

Yes, people all have to learn what is what in which society and what situation or environment. I think it's a major difference in constant self reflection others dont have that much and how raw data arrives. For me its like I perceive things slighty differently than most and I have to first convert it to a alternative viewport to make it fit properly.

Small differences can have a big impact on if something is awkward or normal.
