Some time ago, I was seeing a post online about "walking on eggshells" and how people were annoyed at this, and it made me think a little. I always try my best to be a respectful and decent person, but when the matter is trans people I do get a bit nervous (I'm an introvert, by the way. I'm already a bit nervous by default). How can I be sure that I'm not offending someone while also not looking so worried about it?

if your worried you may be causing offense just ask, as long as it isn't blatantly offensive or highly personal most people who are worth interacting with will give you an honest response. as long as you show your trying to treat the way they want to be treated, they will recognize it even if you stumble because you haven't found your footing yet.
