Recognising social mistakes made by others

If you are ND, and struggle with social cues, do you notice it in others?
Sometimes I can see when a person's timing is a bit off, or they are waffling on about something I have no interest in. I wonder if that's what I'm like.

I'm not sure I see if from an NT perspective but I know that other people's conversations can be really annoying to me. The waffling on about things that I'm not interested in like the weather and people in their family.

With some people, the cues are less obvious to me when I'm masking so I can miss them. I feel like it's the other person that isn't following the same exchange that I'm used to so it throws me off.

I don’t usually notice it in others but then I find a good number of people to focused on themselves and intent on sharing information with me which I can’t bear.
