I brush my hair and things like that. However, I sort of can relate to what your saying about not doing things just because everyone else is doing it. Like the leaving early for some stuff as an example. It might not always be really frowned upon and if it were I would probably not do it. However, it probably does stand out as a bit different at times, I don't know. It seems as though both of us have the basic social hardware for interaction such as reading faces/body language, tone, and things of that nature. However, for you, you are aware something is missing and for me I am not sure either way. How are you with the ability for non-literal interpretations? I am fine on that. Generally speaking anyways, nothing stands out as me being over-literal. I get analogies and such fairly readily. It seems as though we have the social hardware but just have some slightly different mannerisms than the "average" person whatever that means. In my case, I am starting to wonder if this is all from being wrapped up in my own head. Whenever I get made aware of something I can easily become aware of it.
