Must they engage with you? Nooooo.
No one "has to" engage with you or anyone else. Likewise, you don't "have to" engage with anyone else. The trade-off to exposing your "true self" is that you might get rejected. It's a trade-off we all have to contend with. Hell, even the masks don't completely protect you from this risk.

Or, why not just ignore people who treat me meanly for being myself, and find people who don't?

Then do so. What's the problem?
