I agree with you on that. If it's your first job, and you're sure that thinking about negotiating is actually going to make you bad at the rest of the interview, then don't. :D
If that's the case, well in advance of the interview, I would just put some thought into what would make you happy to work there based on what you know about them already.
Also, it's all about your situation. Maybe you don't have a ton of options, and you are not likely to get another interview soon. To me, that means maybe I'd be happy to work there for peanuts.
To your point, I think, just like your first job is going to be a learning experience, so is are those first interviews. You are not going to do everything right. You likely have very little context to even understand what you are negotiating for.
I'd just encourage anybody to put some research into it beforehand. And then try to put it in the back of your mind until the time comes. At that time, if you are up to it, bring your mind back to your research and what you learned in the interview.
This is a better explanation than mine and is a good approach to follow. 👍 I would add, make sure you have multiple interviews lined up as it makes you more confident.
