alone
Just by yourself
Alone means without others present or involved.
You can be physically alone (She lives alone) or emotionally alone (He felt alone in his grief).
It also means only or exclusively: Price alone won't determine the winner.
Leave me alone asks for solitude or to stop being bothered.
Let alone introduces something even less likely: I can't afford rent, let alone a vacation.
