Awkward Message Helper
The message sits in your head for days because any version feels wrong — too confrontational, too soft, too much. This gives you a few options that are honest without being harsh, name the thing directly (avoidance makes it worse), and respect the relationship and your own position. It also tells you when a text is the wrong medium and you should call.
What This Skill Produces
- 2–3 options across a warm→direct range, so you pick the one that fits
- The opener — the first line that sets the right tone (most of the awkwardness is in how you start)
- The medium call — text vs. call vs. in-person, and why
- The boundary line — if you're being taken advantage of, the version that holds your ground kindly
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The situation — what happened and what you need to say/ask
- The relationship — how close, and the history that matters here
- Your goal — get the money, exit the plan, repair the rift, get a reply — the message bends to the goal
- Your read — is this a one-off or a pattern? (Patterns need firmer.)
