we want to tear a wall out to extend our living space. the wall is
between a small area and the living room. we have a slab
basement and a crawlspace attic (there is only one story) Also - the
small area is very small - perhaps 6 feet wide. Saying that -
about 6 feet back after this wall - is another wall. to the kitchen.

Would that be a load bearing wall when you consider the fact that only
about 5-6 feet back is another interior wall?

Any help/advice appreciated

That's an interesting question, but unfortunately has way too little
information for anyone but a clairvoyant to answer. You need to get into the
roof, and basement & see how this wall exists relative to the structure.
