Why wouldn't you want everyone around you to be at least moderately comfortable? Is it really that hard to just shut up and let someone be for a few minutes? I don't mind socializing but sometimes I just wanna wander off on my own for a few minutes to recharge. Is that really so much to ask? Then people take it personally when I politely ask them to give me a few minutes as if I'm being rude.

Depends on the circumstance.

I'll happily put a vegan option on the menu, but I wouldn't turn down music at a club because complained it was too loud.

Because comfort is not a concern when getting out of your comfort zone
