Reiterating for myself: NOT ALL PEOPLE WANT THIS! I definitely, absolutely do NOT want this. If I want people around, I ask them to be. If I want to be alone, I say that. If someone intrudes on me when I literally said I want to be alone, I will not trust that person in future. And I’m probably going to kick them out of my inner sanctum. But maybe I’m weird; I say what I mean.
