> yet people may become upset if you are not helping them
Fair take. But how about this instead: do not position yourself anywhere near a situation where a human is about to get upset. About anything, but especially about broken tech.

That is one take about what makes a relationship close, obligation of mutual help. In my case it's different. What makes a relationships close is an intuition about how to proceed around each other's peeves and buttons and wounds. For example, one can avoid making me visibly upset by not mentioning their technical problems, or approaching the topic very very gently if so.
