I may have exaggerated a little for effect. Still, I do find it annoying when people, completely out of the blue, intrude on my private thoughts, entirely without provocation or any reason other than, apparently, enjoying the sound of their own voices.

It's worse than that. Some such people apparently think that they are doing a good thing for you by intruding in this manner; that you will appreciate it.

The road to the introvert's hell is paved with the extravert's good intentions.

(Note for the literal-minded: "hell" is also an exaggeration for effect.)
