The situation typically evokes conflicting feelings about privacy and separation.

Think tech, entrepreneurship, and similar fields that value geniusness and are always on the lookout for the next best unapologetic persona. Still, even in those fields, the person has to find a way to challenge authorities without resorting to passive-aggressiveness or petty comments.
