Whether to interfere or not in someone's life completely depends on my level of proximity with them.
If it is someone I know very wel, close friend, and someone who will not feel offended with my intrusion then I will jump right in. I want to help out and thats the best way I can show I care.
However, I have some close friends who really prefer to be left alone and have strong sense of privacy and personal space. Sometimes I cross the line but I try my best to respect their privacy because that is most important for them. I simply acknowledge that I am available should they need my help.
For other not so close friends I play it by the ear and try to gauge what they want. Sometimes they are receptive to helping. Sometimes you have to respect privacy.
Wanting to help and intruding can be done with noble intentions, but for some people you can cause more damage so it is a matter of doing the right thing in the right situation.
Well written post and for the bold part - RTH (Wildest guess - Sister of Venus, Katrina style - Satrina) 👏👏
