I'd ask why it would be sad, if I'm a good day, and have a conversation.

On a serious note OP, probably the happiest time of my life was the mornings I would spend in the UTK library reading Finnegans Wake and Tindall's Guide to Finnegans Wake. I would read the chapter in Tindall to prime myself, read the chaper in FW, and reread the chapter in Tindall in an attempt to cement the reading. It was so great. Just sitting in library carrel and reading the morning away. Just be yourself man. It may be cliché but it's true, and that's why it's a cliché.

Why are you this cruel? I think that was my favorite time of my life so far. Having the free time to spend hours reading in the library is a blessing. I don't have that freedom or passion now. I wish I could go back and spend more time there, especially to wander the stacks. It's such a liberating feeling to pull a book from a shelf and crack it open, and read a few pages.

That's pretty rude. Just call people out when they're rude like that.
If they're half way decent and you're assertive about it without getting mad, then they'll realize they were speaking to you inappropriately and apologise. If they don't, then just end the conversation and leave.
Maintain control while you do this and don't show a hint of weakness but don't get mad or upset either. Anything that can be interpreted as an over reaction or as "you're wayyy too sensitive man, haha can't you take a joke???" will be since normies will do anything to save face and avoid admitting fault.

This exact thing happened to me the other week. Was at a friend's girlfriend's birthday party. My friend has always liked my brother much better than me but we're marginally friends so he still invites me to stuff. He always gets one or two passive comments in at me for no reason so the second I walked into the party we shook hands and he points to my face and is like "What, you forget to shave a little something?" because I had a small mustache growing so I was like "Oh I think it looks fine, do you not like it?" and then his mood instantly changed and he'just fake laughed and said he was jealous because he could never pull it off.

just play it off as a joke or do some self defeating joke, usually people that do that form of humor or act rude lay off if you just go along with it or play it seriously and brush it off. If they continue to be rude just act a bit snarky but not too much. Its not banter because banter is subtle but give it the same approach as banter and dont let negative comments penetrate you.

Reading at the library a few hours a night would be considered attractive to pretty much anyone in their mid-20s onwards. The idea that someone would say
>damn dude, that's kinda sad

I find it strange too, I don't know, is something wrong with us? I don't have it in me to ignore a stranger, my natural instinct is to assume they're another full human being, we've crossed paths in a way where we're forced to acknowledge one another, and we should make at least a little light of the situation.

But the more years go by, the more other people seem to go in the other direction, becoming colder, responding to little "situations" like this with a flat "Ok" and fluoride stare.

I read out loud for two hours in a common study room every night in the library, from 19 to 21, including weekends. I have chased away countless of all-nighting students, especially of chinese and indian origin as I just kept reciting out loud whatever novel I was reading as soon as they opened the door of the room. I have never felt ashamed for my actions, not once. Reading out loud is a fantastic experience, and since parents (of others: I'm on a scholarship) are pumping gold into making this library comfortable and open 24/7, I will use it to its full extent to read out loud, which makes me supremely happy.
