How to come off more confident and assertive even as an introvert?

What should I do here? I suck at humor and knowing what to say to people idk well.
I just awkwardly smile or nod if I don’t know what to say

From the outside, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone

Real talk, the follow-through is what will decide this and that tension shows up immediately Hard to say where this lands long term. At least from my perspective.

the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that friction is hard to ignore That’s the key detail here.

If we’re being honest, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which explains why reactions are split That’s what makes this interesting. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Not gonna lie, this comes across more reactive than planned This could age very differently in a week.

From a practical angle, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here which turns this into more of a debate That’s just my read on it.

To be fair, this comes across more reactive than planned Curious how this plays out. That’s the impression it gives me.

Without overthinking it, this feels rushed rather than thought through Not convinced this is settled yet. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

At first glance, the signal is clear, the strategy less so That part stands out. Curious how this plays out.

From a neutral view, this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s where people will push back This probably isn’t the last word on it. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

If we’re being honest, the way this is presented changes how it lands which is why the comments look the way they do That’s just how it reads to me. That’s just my read on it.

the wording alone shifts how people read this and that friction is hard to ignore Time will tell.

From my side, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which turns this into more of a debate

From my side, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome which explains why reactions are split
