Can I say "I won't keep still" in this situation?
For example, If you mess with me again next time, I won't keep still.

(I want to mean: I will do something, I will respond, I will not just sit quietly.)

What are some proper phrases for this?

Thank you.

Answer

If someone won't keep still it generally means they are fidgeting.
"I won't just sit quietly" conveys what I think you intended to say.

Answer

‘I will say something / I won’t keep quiet’ sound more natural to me
