On the contrary, many people in my country are too inquisitive about other people's lives. They ask too much, but they actually don't care. They just want something to gossip about. I think that's even worse.

Oh yes I absolutely agree, I hate it when people "care" too much because it comes off as either judgmental or they are doing it for their own personal gain. I've known people, past and present, that are like that. It comes off as forced or that they are doing it for the attention they hope to get later on when others find out that they were helpful. Also caring too much or being too helpful can also come off as the person doesn't trust you. And yes, people also ask questions so they can gossip about you later on.
