Many people may want to avoid speaking with potentally dangerous people (like there'd be anyone like that on an online chess website, but you never know).
Why don't people chat?

At what point did someone typing Good Game, or Good Luck become a "bother?"Also, its not a matter of being a social butterfly, its common courtesy, and manners. Respecting your opponent is typing something nice, ignoring them is not respecting them.
At what point did I say I ignore someone's chat? If my opponent has the "courtesy" to type something I have enough manners to respond in a proper way....I dont "ignore"....obviously you are misreading.

I was responding to your post, and going by:
"but if you are playing a game perhaps you should just concentrate n the game...most people that come to chess.com come to play chess and dont want to be bothered. Is also called respecting your opponent?"
If i misread what you meant i apologize.
You totally did....I dont want to be bothered while Im playing chess but it doesnt say I will ignore someone if they politely approach me. You are assuming
Will have to remember that you don't like to be bothered next time!
hahahaha Scott....dont start now, you know me better ! (trouble maker) hahahahahaha

I dont really think its so complicated, I'm not talking about exchanging astrological signs. I dont usually say anything much more than "ugh complicated" or "sweet combo, guess I needed to play [ ]".
Back in my over-the-board days, we used to exchange books of trash talk during 5 minute games. Pretty sure I can think and type at the same time.
I wonder if some of it is that a chunk of people cant type without looking at the keyboard.
I don´t trash talk while playing OTB.
In tournaments that´s not allowed, and in my club most blitz/rapids games are for internal tournaments.
Even if that was allowed, I wouldn´t prefer that to a silent game.

I like to talk on live chess, gotten to know a lot of cool people through that. Mostly it's gg and sometimes if the opponent wants a rematch I will say something at the start of te next game. Also I always say hi when I play someone of the same country as me.
Although messages can be hard to interpret. Last night for instance a player said: you got lucky and then resigned and offered a rematch. Normally I'm like I got lucky? WTF play better but he offered a rematch so probably he wasn't being very negative. Still I declined the rematch because of this message.
Very rude players I block after the game.
He was being very negative, he needed the rematch to show you that you were lucky the first time.

I'm still waiting to chat with you OP.

why should people be nice? alas what did your mother teach you.
This sums up everything, why would you expect this person to chat, if he cant understand why they should be nice, its called human nature and we are all have to get along, learn to live with another. i understand american "getting along isnt in your nature... Cheyanne or the other natives ..were not exactly treated with love and kindness or was custer being nice! old man
This is why its my business, but alas there is whole nation like you , an entire generations just like You!! ..people that dont understand why you should be nice, probably doesnt even register in his or her mind. you probably think you civilized the natives and black americans dont you duck 29
And if duck29, was sitting across from anyone at a OTB tournament, he would be shaking hands, and saying or acknowledging good game. Its the annonymity of the internet.

I agree. My experience has been positive... maybe once in ~300 games a jerk. Easily handled.

one time i was playing against somebody he told me "hi goodluck" i didn not respond because i fear he was trying to distract me. at the game end when i win by checkmate he says "gg" so i think he is mocking me. then i rematch him but he refuse the challenge. obviously because go to cry on his mommy
How sad...you cant even accept common courtesy, without thinking its not honest?
Be you a friendly chatty player or deadly silent assasin I am happy to say hi feel free to respond or not i will continue to probably acknowledge another human being who shares a love like mine for the greatest game ever made
