Or maybe it’s all too complicated and I should just leave it alone.

Leave this alone, and stop reading online profiles of people you know in RL if it causes you anxiety.
Many...many people overshare online, but those same people can be quick to demonize you, or see you as a weirdo for looking up what they made available.
I look up most people I meet, to get a sense on if they are presenting the same in RL and online, but after that usually stop looking.
Telling them, doesn't really help anything.
The "invasion of privacy" really occurs when you tell someone in RL, that you've been looking at their online activity.
