what is it with office culture and being uncomfortable with quiet people?

i’m a quiet, somewhat introverted person. i don’t feel the need to talk if i don’t have something to say. co-workers for some reason feel the need to approach me and say things like, “you’re so quiet”, “you’re not very talkative, huh?” and make me feel guilty for not attending work events with them. i’m here to work, not make friends. and i’ve noticed over the years that it’s only ever in office settings that people seem to have an issue with people who are comfortable with silence. i don’t get it??
