correct sentence
Hi teachers!
I am preparing a report and I have thought a sentence that perhaps is too Spanish. can you say it?
"We don't get into the privacy of others"
I want to mean that "I would not like to intimate too much with others"
Thanks

This one means "interfere in others affairs.
I want to
say
[mean] that {OR "I want
it
to mean ... "}
"I would not like to
become too
intimate [too much] with others"
OR
I don't/wouldn't like to get too close to others.
Thanks
