Looking at these samples of dialogue and character motivation, I'm not surprised that Ditko is a recluse, because this reads like something written by someone who has never actually talked to a person ever. (He and Stan Lee collaborated via carrier pigeon.)
I can also see the progression to this from his later Spider-Man issues, since Ditko's Peter was a budding sociopath and everyone, even Gwen and Harry, were mean and ugly and hated him.
