I’ll go first You can do it alone but you’ll run into problems. Others that have been through it have solved those problems. Ask around if you recognize a problem and you’ll most likely receive the best solution

You got no crystal ball to know what's inside someone else's brain.

You don't know someone else's thoughts, beliefs, intentions; you can at most guess them, based on a few things - among them, what the person says and how they behave. Use the later two to decide how to handle people, not your assumptions on the former three.

Also remember that this applies to other people. They also don't know your thoughts, beliefs, intentions. So make sure to speak your mind when it's relevant.
