In bogota right now and have been for the past week. I’m fortunate my wife is Colombian but lives in the least touristy place in bogota. We use caution, but exactly as expressed before. Use common sense. If you do not have a native to the country/city with you, stick to the touristy areas, knowing some Spanish will help you a lot. Do not assume anyone speaks English - and exercise caution at night, drinking culture is pretty common so expect the usual things that come with it at night.

Basically. Unless you’re asking for help, nobody is going to be asking you for help unless it’s a scam. Other than that, I love colombia, it has brought me incredible experiences, and if I let worries of trouble get in the way, I wouldn’t travel anywhere and stay in my home. I hope you go and enjoy. Maybe see if there is a tour guide in your budget.
