Your duties as Guardian will, of course, require you to make contact with alien lifeforms. Proceed carefully. Remember that on their world, you are the alien. Do not take this personally: they are simply applying generalizations to allow them to understand you better. Do not be offended when they comment on your hair, your clothing, or the colour of your skin. Do not be upset if they appear species-ist and make what might be construed as disparaging remarks about your sexual techniques. Such attitudes are common across the galaxy. However, there are certain life forms that must be met with all due caution and personal safety in mind. The Chinderoos, for example, of the Faunty region — never look directly at their wide, button-like eyes. Avoid all physical contact with their plush, velour-like fur. Their terminal cuteness is their sole weapon and will turn an enemy's brain to the texture of rotting gluten-based oatmeal within seconds of first contact.
