It depends on the type of person. Some people are nosy, busy bodies who think they are involved in everyone's conversation. Some people are earnest and good-intentioned and simply want to contribute, whether they're welcomed or not. Others are just socially awkward or deficient (and I don't mean that in a rude way, it's a legitimate problem) and literally can't process social interactions correctly.
Though I'm not trying to be contrary, because I doubt most people are RPing socially stunted folk in good faith. It's simply the best way they know how to flag themselves as being interested in what you're doing. Just saying there are people who are that way and it's a legitimate character flaw. Instead of letting it break your immersion, you can roll with it, if you so choose :b
