and i mean like the bowling ball i am getting corrected into the middle, I have learned a lot about what the world thinks is normal and what's weird, and I am pretty good at predicting it, but it doesn't feel *intuitive*, I have to pay it conscious attention.

I have the same problem. I have to think consciously about, “Is this weird? Would normals think this is weird, and if so, why?” before I do anything.

LIke Aella, I’ve gotten pretty good at predicting it, just as I learned to have high-quality social interactions, but not a thing about it is intuitive as it is for others.
