I needed to ask for a protection method, but once I got inside, I just couldn’t say it. The pharmacist asked, ‘How can I help you?’ and out of panic, I said, ‘You know, the multivitamin, that thing.’ I ended up buying vitamins and I’m still embarrassed. What do you do in such situations? How do you relax?
It’s so normal to feel this way… But look at it from this angle, the pharmacist is someone who gives out these kinds of things every day, so what you find embarrassing is just part of their routine. Next time, you can just write it down on a piece of paper and show it to them. It honestly makes it unnecessary to even talk ![]()
I was hesitant at first too. I even thought once, ‘What if the pharmacist misunderstands me?’ But then I said to myself, these are health issues. I just said it, blushing, and then there’s already a sense of relief.
When you say multivitamin, you actually haven’t solved your needs. I don’t think it’s something to panic about this much. How much longer are you going to be ashamed like this? What kind of logic is this? It’s perfectly natural after all. Pharmacists don’t have a reaction to such things anyway.
Learning how to use protective products is just as much a personal responsibility as having them on hand. If you’re hesitant to say it face-to-face, turning to a consultation box or an online pharmacy solution is also an option. But pharmacists are trained individuals, and they are there to help you.
Update: Well, you’re right, but at that moment I couldn’t talk. It seemed like the pharmacist would look at me strangely. Normally, I hadn’t thought of a written note; I think I’ll do that next time. But honestly, I felt a bit clumsy.
No way, I think it’s weirder to go with a written paper or something. We need to talk about this, friends. If you’re always going to be in a situation like this and you hold back this much, it won’t work out. You need to learn to be confident ![]()
To be honest, one needs to be careful even when buying such things. Of course, you will think about what people around us might say. In the past, there was more privacy regarding these kinds of things. Instead of talking openly, it was preferred to let a family member or an elder take care of it; I think you should be a little more careful with yourself.
