Proverbs 25:17
Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house, lest they become weary of you and hate you.
Expanded Meaning
Be mindful of how often and how long you impose on others. True friendship respects space, time, and emotional capacity. Familiarity without restraint can lead to resentment, even where there was once affection. Wisdom knows when to draw near—and when to step back.
