Everyone is entitled to do what they want with their space and their time. You don't have to bend over backwards just because someone wants you to. You can draw boundaries around what you'd like to do and when. If someone is asking for your advice, you can choose when to give it and when not to give it. The person in this story was being asked to take on somewhat of a mentorship role in a teenager's life, and that's not an easy task. Teenagers are impressionable, and you don't want to end up in a situation where they're relying on you for something that you can't give. It's best just to nip it in the bud and set expectations early so no one's feelings get hurt. That's what this neighbor tried to do, but they couldn't help but feel bad about the way they were going about it. Sometimes people make you feel like you've done something wrong when in reality you haven't. These are not generally people you want to keep around. You're allowed to make your own decisions and stand by them. Scroll on to see what happened in this story and see what you think about it.
