I think maybe 'no te molestes' could be correct. Although molestar is more frequently used in a non-reflexive form - it bothers me, for instance (me molesta) I think it can be used to mean 'to bother oneself' - For instance, no se molestó en lavarse, He didn't bother (himself) to wash.

There are other ways to express concepts similar 'To bother oneself'.

No tengo ganas (de hacer algo) can mean, I can't be bothered (to do something).

No se preocupes por eso, Don't bother yourself about that.

No tome la molestia en hacerlo, Don't bother to do it.

Answer 5

Hola Torielisa17

I wonder whether your sentence does not mean It does not bother you?

Answer 6

My understanding is that "No te molestes" is exactly correct in Spain for "don't bother" while in Mexico it's more like "don't get angry". "No te preocupes por eso" es correct also for "don't worry about / bother with that".

Gracias
