I can blend in just fine if I want to, but I am controlling it, not an unwanted twitch.

If this bothers you, perhaps you could talk to your therapist about it like you mentioned? (That brings me to another point - someone with SPD, I think, would very rarely talk to their therapist about a concern revolving around socializing - most people with SPD are fine with not socializing and don't seek help for it).

Like FooZe mentioned though, your problem could occur in someone with or without SPD, everyone is unique!

Thank you for responding. To clarify though, I am not in therapy because I am upset that I do not have friends, I am in therapy because I was having issues with school ( to the point where my mother nearly had to go to court ). Personally, I do not have a problem with not having friends, unfortunatley, my mother and therapist think I need some.
