It’s perfectly normal to bother other people and then force them to tell you to go away, but let’s not pretend this is perfectly polite. It’s reasonable enough and not too rude of an imposition, but it’s not perfect. Y’all do it to me all the time, and I promise you I really don’t like it. I have to assume I’m not an alien, there are other people similar to me who also don’t want to be bothered.
Add in the complication of moving to another country and not being fluent in the language? I think I’d just become a shut-in.
Because you don’t like something it doesn’t make it rude. Social interaction is a fundamental aspect of the human experience, there are of course outliers just as in anything. Anything approaching the expectation that everyone should stop talking to strangers because you personally don’t enjoy it might be amongst the most narcissistic things I’ve ever read.

Yeah, this is something else to read.
