If it’s inappropriate, improper, or makes you uncomfortable, simply tell them “I don’t feel like I need to know that”. If it is something person they’re going through, try to be there for them as a friend. On that same point, if you don’t want to help them thru things, you probably don’t want to be their friend. And that’s ok! Not sure how them being a content creator relates. Do they over share online? If so, you can say “it might not be safe to share that info online”.

I see, it’s just that they tend to overshare imo and I’m worried about if someone with bad intentions figures out their address. They even revealed things about themself such as the high school they went to and the names of some of their family members. Like I wanna tell them to cut back on the details but I dunno how to without being patronizing.

It’s just that I care about them and they’re gaining a lot of followers.

Yes if they’re posting personal things like their address and hs please say something! As long as you come from a place of genuine love and care (which it seems you have for them) they shouldn’t take it poorly. Tell them you care about them, don’t want them to get hurt, and think it’s a safety issue! If they get defensive, try once to clarify, then leave it alone. You’ve done what you can and you’re a good friend for worrying about them.
