Why does the majority of people just assume people want to communicate... I have not read the article and never am going to. This headline premise alone of doing that will destroy any sanity I have. I do not, ever, want to talk you as a standard and you should never force that to me.

They don’t. If they did they wouldn’t have an issue striking up a conversation with strangers, but they clearly do.

If you don’t know what it says, it might be wise to not be negative about it.

The article isn’t suggesting anyone force anything. Quite the contrary, it advocates for respecting boundaries and even suggests how to communicate your own.
You basically just 'forced' me to read your comment. Aren't you talking to a stranger here?
