Description

Intrusion is the socked tyranny of good intentions, trampling personal borders under the guise of helpfulness. It’s the polite suffocation of others’ liberties to soothe one’s own anxieties. A dance between respect and restraint performed flawlessly in the ballroom of overconfidence. Genuine support and its forced counterpart are separated only by a hair’s breadth, invisible to even the sharpest eye.
