If someone greets me I may greet them back if I notice. If I don't notice, which is quite possible, then I won't greet them back. I used to wear earphones so that people would ignore me, some did, some didn't. I will never initiate a greeting unless it is to make someone aware of my presence though normally I'll run around them so they don't have to move.
I'm not sociable, I never have been and little is going to change that now. I like being out on my own with just my thoughts.
You do not know me so please do noy judge me. To wish unpleasantness upon me because I want to be left alone is just plain nasty. It shows a complete lack of espect for others.
Don't forget you have friends on here with aspergers and autism, other friends with mental health issues. Running is great as it's so insular and isolated. Even without these there are people who are far less outgoing who wish to run in isolation.
We are not all social animals. Sometimes we need to get away, to hide, to be invisible and quiet. Do you think that you have the right to intrude and expect your needs to be met by others?
If you greet someone just be happy that you have done that. I always say hello to a friend when I see them. 9/10 they will not respond, sometimes they bury their head deep in the ground but I know that the day I ignore them will be they day that they need me to say hello.
You may have made someone happy by saying hello to them, they maybe trying to say hello back. Just give people the space they need.
