The whole public-key/private-key approach exists so that it is possible to establish secure communications without first meeting offline to exchange a symmetric key. You have released your public key. This signals to others that you want your communication to be end-to-end encrypted. You also published your e-mail address to allow other people to contact you. The cost for encryption is low, once you know how to use the software. So why not take advantage of it?
