That's a faulty arguments, people are also not entitled to not be annoyed by the mere existence of others choosing to live their lives in a way that doesn't actually hurt anyone.

Your existence doesn’t annoy me, your insistence upon my attention does.

That's why I ignore people I don't want to give my attention to, works like a dream. Earbuds and sunglasses are like social PPE if you want them to be, maybe give that a shot if you can't handle day-to-day human interactions.

I just avoid human interaction altogether. I work from home and don’t go anywhere. Works a treat.

So if I scream in your face for the duration of the ride on an elevator that's perfectly fine because I'm not actually physically hurting you?

It doesn't make you look very sane, but as long as you don't have any communicative respiratory diseases, yeah it's whatever. If it meets any legal definitions of harassment or abuse, then sure, I'd be legally entitled to press charges if I so choose. But if it's a one-off...idk, plenty of mentally ill people yell gibberish at random people in public places every day, you're just one more.
