If someone or something is causing me grief and distress, do I have the right to go NC without explaining it directly to the person?

Hmm. For me that might depend on who the person is. If it is someone who has been a best friend for many years, or a family member, I think I would explain it to them. But regardless of who it is you have the "right" to take care of yourself in whatever way is best.
Years ago I spent months and months trying to explain my reasons for needing NC with a former good friend. I finally realized that the problems making me need NC were the same problems that were making it impossible for her to hear me, so all the explaining was quite pointless.
