I've learned to back off and realize that commas, instead of parentheses, often work just fine.

But I've already used commas to add more information to the sentence, how can I fit in more information without parentheses?

Stand over the person reading it and interject.

Consider the humble “em dash” — some people use it to interject a completely different sentence in the middle of another — the next time you’re trying to avoid parentheses.

Forget what everyone else said. Brackets.

You can, although probably should not, use semicolons; they can be used to join related statements that could, very frequently, also stand on their own.

Yea I try to do that too. And then make sure it doesn’t end up a ridiculous run on sentence. 😭

Just introduce yourself to people as a 19th century German philosopher, they'll understand.

Commas are a pathway to infinitely run-on sentences.
