Honestly, probably the best social tip I could ever give you guys is literally just ask. Need to make a doctor’s appointment but don’t know how? Call the doctor’s office and ask. Don’t know the meaning of what someone said? Ask them. Don’t understand the instructions you were given? Ask them to repeat or clarify. This has literally never failed me, no one’s gotten angry, no one’s refused to answer.
Even in situations where you think it might not work, I once accidentally missed a deadline to accept a job offer, so I called and asked if they could reset it and they did. Just today I called a doctor and asked how to schedule an appointment, the lady told me how, and then I did it. Didn’t know if someone was being sarcastic or not, so I asked and they told me. Just ask.
you know that gag where there’s a character who’s falling off a ledge to their death and they’re all teary and the music swells as their hand slips and then the shot zooms out to show they fell like. two feet. that’s what answering important emails feels like.
