Don't butt in to other peoples affairs.

Know you bounderies.

Mind you business.

It depends on the context, I think

Keep yourself on the margins
Keep yourself on the fringes (of society)
Keep to yourself
Keep yourself to yourself
Mind your own business

Thank you, they all work.

can we say keep yourself aside?

No. "Keep X aside" es bastante raro y significa guardar con connotaciones de ahorrar:

You should keep some money aside so that if a bill arrives earlier than expected you can still pay it.
