Default 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
