Also, i don't know how to properly interact with with the common "hi, how are you doing?". Cut to the chase, bring the matter to the table and it will be way easier to talk to me/get my attention.

Two examples: one person sends me the "hi, How are you doing?" And another comes with "Do you like Sonic, the Hedgehog?". The Sonic question will get more of my attention, bc i preffer to going directly to a conversation than going thru the pleasantries steps first.
