Is there a logical way to memorize the honorific systems (meeru/tanu/nuvvu)?

I'm a grammar-focused learner and the honorific system in Telugu is really messing with my head. I understand the rules for 'meeru' versus 'nuvvu', but in practice, I constantly stumble when deciding which to use with acquaintances. Does anyone have a breakdown of social situations involving honorifics that helps this stick in long-term memory?
