They make me uncomfortable too. I usually tell them I prefer not to have someone else around to hold me back from what I want to do and they should try a solo vacation sometime. They will make rude comments and act rude and make you uncomfortable, I have noticed. I like to try to turn it around on them and stop the conversation. Not making eye contact in the first place also helps a lot. Sometimes, that stops the conversation before they can start it.
