First, I live alone. Then, work mostly involves written communication especially when remote, and on the days I'm at the office communication is generally limited to saying hi and very small amount of small talk. Most agile meetings are useless to me so I don't say a word. Other that work interactions I basically greet and thank the cashier and bus driver.
And generally I just find it more polite to shut up and listen than talk about stuff people aren't interested in, which happens to be the majority of what I'm interested in.
Sure the median might be 50 but it's kind of anecdotally low. For example a typical week might be: 0, 10, 50, 50, 500, 2000, 5000. So the median might also be 500 under slightly different circumstances.

That's in addition to all of the work and actual physical socializing. Also, families talk a lot, and many couples are fairly chatty. I meant to comment on you being on the low end of the range, but after typing that all I can think about is how hard it is to properly isolate variables when doing this study. Quite a lot to control for!
