I identify as an ambivert, positioned between being an extrovert and an introvert. Extended periods of speaking often leave me feeling exhausted, and I particularly struggle with conversations involving aggressive personalities. I tend to be a reflective thinker, processing information at a slower pace after conversations.

In my role at work, which involves technical client interaction, I’ve been actively trying to participate more in discussions, but the progress is slow and painful. I’ve noticed that public figures like Elon Musk and Mark Cuban project confidence in their speech, in contrast to the more reserved and calm demeanor of Sundar Pichai and Mark Zuckerberg.

While I understand there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, I would greatly value any insights or personal observations, even if they are subjective.

    Maybe instead of paying attention to the speech of those people, you could try listening to how a comedian uses their speech. You could listen to learn how comedy works. Maybe you could get some skills that way. Understand what is funny and what makes it funny.
