leave me alone
Stop bothering me
Leave me alone is a demand to stop bothering someone—to cease contact, attention, or interference.
The tone ranges from mildly annoyed to desperate: Leave me alone, I'm trying to work, Just leave me alone!
It can request physical distance or emotional space.
Sometimes softened to leave me be, which sounds gentler or more rural.
