I think there are people who WANT to be seen in that circumstance, but I also think there are many people who assume they won't be or aren't thinking about it. It's that "Yes, actually, we all CAN see you crying in your car" situation where people feel like they are in a bubble (sometimes even when there is no physical barrier around them whatsoever) and no one can see in their windows (or will always actively avoid doing so), sound can't possibly travel through a wall or over a hedge or whatever, no one would ever glance into their yard, car, restaurant booth, etc. when walking by, and if they aren't actually looking at anyone then no one can see or hear them.

It's like that time in grad school when I went to study at one of the big rooms in the library with lots of tables. Two tables over, someone's phone rang and they answered it and had a brief conversation because apparently when you are sitting alone at a table it's like you are alone on a deserted island and the sound of your voice couldn't possibly carry across a big, echo-y room, let alone to the next table 10 ft over.

That makes sense tbh, not how I operate most of the time, but I can absolutely get people thinking that their own bubble is more private than it actually is.

I know I've been caught like that before, went and hid in a bathroom to cry while completely forgetting that anyone outside the cubicle could in-fact hear me. But then I was mortified afterwards and rushed out like I'd never been there, lol.
