My family is driving me crazy! I thought my main purpose was to do dishes and laundry and change diapers, but I was wrong. Instead, I’m supposed to affirm their existence every two minutes, times nine of them, by responding to some content-free blather. Otherwise, they will follow me around repeating it until I affirm their existence by kicking them in the shins.

Make a sign: I am on strike. Do not try to get my to talk. If I HAVE to talk, you will not like what I say.
Of course, you COULD barricade yourself in your room...
Adhere a cell-phone to your ear, and practice nodding your head every few seconds.

The alternate explanation is that they begin to realize just how loony you may be, but the result is still the same.
