Communication and Boundaries
Why stop when someone does not want to listen, even if your reminder is well intended?

Even a well-intended reminder needs to take account of whether the person wants to listen. If they have already said they understand or do not need it, continuing to press the point can turn kindness into pressure and even cause conflict.
Dao Xuan shared an uncomfortable experience with a woman in a store who kept offering reminders. That was Dao Xuan's experience. I have also discussed reminding people on the street myself. After saying it once and receiving a response, I leave. Convincing the person is not required before a good deed counts as complete.
If you want to help, first notice what the situation needs and how the person responds. Your good intention and their acceptance of the approach both need consideration. Do not focus so much on proving 'I am doing this for your good' that you forget the original wish for their well-being.
