Effectively banned from talking to other employees (on break), understandable but huge morale killer

So on friday, my leads tell me the the various associates have complained, when I'm working in the breakroom/ smokers cage, they don't want me talking to them, so I'm not to talk to people when they are on break. I get people cherish their breaks and rather decompress than talk, and me being socially inept I don't know when to stop rambling (also will acknowledge my voice is quite annoying, but i can't help that.)

Again I get it Im not mad at the other associates its their right I respect that.

But boy does that just jab a needle in my heart and completely destroy morale, the cherry on the top is the leads schedule me to go on break outside the normal break times, leaving me no one to talk to, not that it matters I imagine the rule applies even when I'm on break. (mostly paranoia): but how long before Im to work in complete silence, banned from using the breakroom or must keep eyes to the floor at all times?
