Never say: 

-We need to talk

– I have bad news and good news

– Ok Real talk

Or any of those versions and then send them with no other information. YOU MAKE US INTERNALLY FREAK OUT. Our anxiety level raises a shit ton reading that. And then if you AFK or don’t check your phone and we wait for hours for a response, we REALLY get anxious as we envision every possible horrible thing you could possibly say no matter how logical or likely. 

Things to say

-Hey when we get a chance we need to talk about (subject) because (reason)

-Hey I want to talk to you, but it’s a good thing so don’t worry!

-Hey you free to talk? Just have some questions/need to info about (subject)

Or if it is bad news…

Get to the point asap and make sure you’re around to clarify any questions. If you know you are going to class, work, don’t start that conversation. 

This isn’t a rule just tips for folks, but hot damn I’ve had five of these sent to me this week and my blood pressure can’t handle it.
