minus-squarestoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up32arrow-down3·1 day agoI have one criteria for being an adult: “Being an adult requires you to know when it is appropriate to be childish” With this I mean that it is ok to have fun and be childish as long as you stop when it isn’t appropriate, you like building Lego? Great! Just make sure you have the budget before indulging. You like playing with plastic dinasaurs? Fantastic! But make sure to clear the table before eating dinner! Way too many people take themselves way too serious all the time, relax and joke on your own expense from time to time. Get yourself a general idea of any subject you need to contact the government or a company about. Get over any phone phobia when calling the government or an organizationfor help. “Hi, I am <NAME>, I am calling about <SUBJECT> and how I should do <ACTUAL PROBLEM>, is that something you can help me with?” The above template should get you going, pretend to be happy and friendly when calling. Pretending to be happy will make you happier, fake it till you make it!
