What's so bad about one keeping to themselves?

I was asked if I have always been this quiet. For majority of my life, yes.

Why do people make this out to be a bad thing?

I had literally just come back from lunch, in which I sat and socialized with 5 other people. I came back into the work training on time, and waited for the next session to begin.

I was sitting quietly to myself and that's when the comment was made. Mind you, we'd been in groups, exchanging info, and learning the entire day .

Some people need a few moments to themselves.
Why is that so hard to understand?

All too familiar. It's either that or " You're quiet. You okay?" Since most people vie to be the center of attention these days, those taking a minute of quiet contemplation become the oddity.

Also there seems to be a certain personality subtype that can't leave anything undisturbed. Whether its a colleague with coffee reading a book, or someone catching a nap.
