Nosey

Characterized by excessive curiosity about other people's affairs; intrusive and meddlesome. A nosey person often asks personal questions, eavesdrops on conversations, and attempts to uncover information that is not readily available or intended for them. This behavior can stem from a genuine interest in others, but more commonly arises from a need to control, gossip, or simply fulfill a lack of personal fulfillment. They often fail to respect privacy and boundaries.
