But I am far more aware of it then they are.

Thank you for that, it is interesting so in a way you assume others are like you and be okay with it. My friend does that where she will do something assuming someone else will be okay with it thinking they will be on the same wave length as her. It tends to escalate quickly though when they react in a way she wasn't expecting or doesn't know how to handle.
It sounds like it is naturally instilled in you, it is good you're more self aware and maybe you will be able to manage it without coming across as a manipulator. I think it is good as a defence mechanism.
