Neurotypicals are always doing this, it's just not as stressful for them. They call it reading the room, or vibe checks or call it nothing at all except being polite. Trying to follow set etiquette in a new situation is a completely "normal" thing to do.
Yeah, watching and copying is something that neurotypical people do all the time... but I'm specifically referring to the act of being consciously aware and anxious around it, which is very much not a neurotypical thing.
