And what about the well-intentioned people that may very well just be concerned about you? Spending all your time not talking to people and some might think that something is bothering you. Do not mistake concern for hostility.

And no, not everyone can sit comfortably in silence. You're not obligated to respond, but it's awfully rude to say, "You're a babbeh if you want human interaction." That's an awful way to dismiss people who may or may not have actual issues with social interaction.
