No you're not weird, pair programming is not one size fits all solution.
EDIT: To be clear, I still find value in pair programming, but a mandatory pair programming, for me is quite absurd. It should be organically happening, for example, a junior asking for help from senior.
I have found it quite effective while pair programming (senior to junior mentorship) to say OUT LOUD exactly what I'm changing and why I'm changing that. This allows others to more easily follow your train of thought and can lead to good discussions rather than turning PRs into essays.
However, as other comments have mentioned, this can get exhausting.
