My thoughts exactly

The pervasiveness of “I only want to interact with others on my terms” is one of the most alienating parts of humanity

I think it’s a common feeling which tells you something about the absurdity of the human condition

The world used to provide social interaction without a marketing predicate. The statement is only alienating outside that context. Terrifying.
