Director Aaron Sorkin disclosed that Jeremy Strong deliberately kept his distance from co-stars while shooting The Social Reckoning, telling other actors not to expect him to socialize or speak to them between takes. Sorkin framed this as Strong staying in character as Mark Zuckerberg.

Exactly. And while I loathe Zuckerberg, his character is no Joker or Daniel Plainview in terms of direct human communication or social villainy. He was probably just trying to keep Zuck’s innate coldness going between takes.

Oh, I am quite fucking sure you, random redditor, have a far better grasp of acting, the craft and the people involved in it than fucking Robert Pattinson. Fuck all the way off.

That's my opinion on it. It's easy to get caught up in being nice, but you really need to shove yourself into a different mentality to keep being an asshole if you're not
