WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Mind your own business; you have enough problems of your own to deal with.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Boundary setting in family dynamics

In Chinese familial contexts, individuals often overextend concern into relatives' lives; telling someone to 'worry about yourself' is a sharp colloquial way to set boundaries and deflect unsolicited meddling.
