I was wondering what word could describe a person[s] that is trying to help somebody and feels like they are being empathetic towards them, but is trying to be ignored by the other person? I was thinking "falsely-empathetic" or "anti-empathetic", but it sounds to me like the character I'm describing is not trying to help at all?

Best Answer
If the person is trying to help because they are nosey, then busybody would fit. If they are sincerely trying to help, but the attention is unhelpful or unwanted, then do-gooder would be more suitable.
