This seems to be common knowledge to artists and uncommon among almost everyone else: Do not go poking around an artist's works unless/until they are ready to share their work. (Applies to sketchbooks, dance practice, private art studios, etc)
>>Unlike many misanthropes, though, Wednesday is still somewhat motivated by social emotions like guilt and shame. <<
It is possible for someone to chose misanthropy due to finding other humans annoying. Constantly being guilt-tripped or shamed would count, so in other words, some misanthropes may become misanthropic because of social emotion.
Alternately, some misanthropes may have normal-ish social needs, but find the offered socialization either does not meet their needs or makes things much worse.
>>She's also very territorial, about people as well as places or things. Those factors influence how she treats others.<<
Compare to old styles of lordship, feudalism, etc. The Lord may not care about an individual serf or an individual scrap of land, but will care about the insult offered when someone does not respect his sovereignty. Then we get a social system where the entire lord's household (or demesne, or whatever) collectively looks out for each other. Seems bizarre to modern post-WWII, but it does make a sort of sense.
And the Addams family are quite often written as an Old Blood, Old Money family, who are politely befuddled by all these 'quaint new customs.'
