Get annoyed when people talk to you?

Yes, if they just wade in and interrupt something I'm trying to concentrate on, because I find it annoys me to have to suddenly drop my thoughts. Even when my thoughts weren't particularly important, I seem to need to finish them before I can turn my attention to theirs. And I can have a lot of trouble resuming after such an uncontrolled interruption.
It's not their fault, I don't see how else they can easily talk to me. I can't seem to just sit there doing nothing on the off-chance they'll approach me, I have to keep my mind occupied. It's like an alarm going off, even when I've set it myself, it always rings when I'm halfway through a thought and I want to smash the clock.
They often talk faster than I can take it in as well, I'm a slow thinker, so it soon addles my brain. But if they approach me with some warning, look at me to assess whether I seem busy, start at an appropriate juncture and speak slowly, clearly and not too aggressively, then it can be a pleasure to listen to them.
It's not 100% that way. I can and do compromise a lot.
Yeah I do get annoyed. Normally I'm just sitting by myself, smiling, feeling good as it's sunny and it's quiet. I am just basically content not doing anything but existing. And there's always somebody who starts talking to me. And even more irritating that they feel the urge to share their whole life, secrets. I guess it's because I'm not very chatty, I just listen. I don't want to talk so I just nod and people think it as an encouragement to talk to me.

I seem they bother me most when I am really into something.
