People think you're strange, you know. Just, just sit there and don't talk.

Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

The speaker tells the listener that others consider them strange, then urges them simply to sit there and stay quiet. The stumbling repetition of "just" makes the advice sound hurried and possibly awkward. Silence is offered as a way of avoiding attention, though the tone is not fully clear.
