   • Meddlers, using this framework, can be understood as engaging in intrusion so that they can assert their own expertise and power. By the same token, though, the well-intentioned meddler may just be trying to help, following the communion dimension, and in the process seeks to foster a closer relationship with you.

   • It's also important, in the two-factor framework, to understand how meddling is perceived differently by the “actor” (the meddler) and the “observer” (you or the others in your vicinity). From the agency perspective, meddlers may see their behavior as perfectly justified, because they believe they know more than you do.

   • Try to see if they mean well. Sometimes people have good intentions but the way they say things sounds hurtful. Try to take a step back and assess whether they actually have your best interests at heart.
   • Draw clear boundaries. Use assertive “I” statements to say that you won’t be entertaining the topic, e.g., “I don’t discuss my salary.” Learn to say no and know that you don’t even have to give them an explanation for it, e.g., “No, don’t set me up with anyone.”
   • Don’t take it personally. Know that you can control what you do, but you can’t control what others do. So even if you know that they shouldn’t have said or asked what they did, you can control how you feel about it.
   • Ignore them. There are some people that you cannot avoid and have to maintain a civil relationship with, like your colleague or your neighbor. If they meddle in your life, as long as it does not get out of hand, perhaps it is best to pay no attention to them.
