Expressing a concern for someone's welfare is not making a choice for them or forcing them to do anything. It is not inflicting care, which is an odd phrase in itself. To view voicing a concern as interfering seems to suggest that human beings are completely separate from each other, have no responsibilities toward each other, and should just keep a safe distance no matter what. Schopenhauer described human interaction as if between porcupines.
