Womanspeak is a female-to-male dictionary, aimed at enlightening the male population on what a woman means when she says…
‘I just want to be left alone’
This is a dodgy one! More often than not this means: “I-don’t-want-to-be-left-alone-but-I-want-you-to-see-that-for-yourself-and-choose-to-stay-of-your-own-volition-because-then-I’ll-know-you-really-care-and-when-you-do-stay-you-better-find-a-way-of-getting-me-out-of-my-funk-without-me-telling-you-how”. Of course as with all things feminine, every now and then “I just want to be left alone” means just that and if you don’t give your woman some space when she asks for it you will more than certainly live to regret it. Unfortunately you’re on your own when it comes to trying to work when she means it and when she doesn’t.
