that's what everyone so far has said to themselves when confronted with that man, knowing this you should have enough sympathy for the man to give him a chance by meeting them halfway, i have helped at least one person be more social by approaching them and making them feel welcome, that same person is now much more confident and a well liked member of the community, they could have gotten there eventually by themself too but i like to believe making them feel welcome helped speed up the process at least that's what i tell myself and that makes me feel good about doing a good thing to another, i never treated it as a burden or duty i genuinely wanted the person to be a part of the community because i know how tough it is to make first contact with others and to get past the initial awkwardness when joining a new group
