first one needs to know“折腾”的本意,

“折腾”的本意 is that the RESULT of doing something should be crystal clear, but you expect anything opposite is happening,

example:
to some woman, naturally she is pretty enough
any making-up would obviously damage her
beauty, but, she doesn't listen and never care
any advices, instead, she makes up herself
this way and that way, in this case,
you can say about her ---“折腾”,

as such,

“不折腾” really means
'do nothing against common sense'
because here 不 is emphsized
thus, do nothing
