This misses the point completely? Wanting to know that you're not alone and wanting to be left alone are completely different, despite the word choice. Surely you realize this. Saying that "I prefer to avoid unsolicited harassment from corporate interests" is hardly the same as saying "I'm an unapologetic misanthrope".
- satisfice 1y agoI do see your point. It's just that when someone says "I want to be left alone" a hundred times, I start to think they want to be left alone. "Leave me alone" is different from "I want to be left alone." The second implies you want to be left alone by everyone.
