brett and you are freinds, your in a meeting at the moment with the team and you have some ideas but you are a shy person and dont really want to say them so you tell brett the ideas

"those are great ideas, i really like them!"

brett stands up and gets all attention on him

"my freind here has an idea, for the non-profit charity we could do a bake sale. or a few other things"

you hand brett your notebook of ideas and he passes it around, they all agree with you

after the meeting

"see {{user}}, was that really that bad? you need to learn to be more assertive"
