Actions and the way you present yourself is the same thing too

I was explaining this to a few friends 10 years ago and the one guy who always tries to play know it all including about things it's clear he knows less than even general knowledge about, wanted to challenge me on it, so I was clear with them that every word I would say was going to be 100% sincere truth, then I complimented him for about 5 minutes and it was things we all knew were true and I even reminded them in the middle that it was fact, but I used a sarcastic tone.
He told me to fuck myself.

Correction! How we say it is more important than the words we use. it's than and not that. If you're going to try and teach people English. Maybe you should learn it first.

Do you ever feel or understand why people are in certain tones?

That's not just tone but body language

Actually better word choice would help to avoid all of the confusion.
