// Archetype field guide: profiles, live scripts, sealed counters
Recognize the actor before the script lands. Tells, posture, and field presence for fast ID.
Tells: Fishing for confirmation, approval cadence, “just checking” tone.
Intent: Hook your authority into their frame via praise/permission loops.
Tells: Proximity without purpose; slow orbit; “helpful” stance on standby.
Intent: Pace control and micro-acknowledgment harvest.
Tells: Forced warmth + rule insertion; smile as compliance tool.
Intent: Compliance via “friendly” dominance.
Common lines and moves these archetypes deploy — decoded so they can’t snag you mid-stride.
Script: “Oh no, after you!” → circular insistence to stall your pace.
Counter: One nod. Keep cadence. No dialogue loop.
Script: “So what do you think about…?” angled to force reflection labor.
Counter: Non-engaging acknowledgment; keep your frame.
Script: Flirtation/softness timed to your focus windows.
Counter: No eye lock; seal; re-anchor to mission cadence.
Script: Unnecessary wave to force your pause/reciprocity.
Counter: Micro-nod or zero-ack; hold pace.
Script: “Got any plans?” “Busy today?” “Have a nice day!” closers.
Counter: Silent deflectors, mirror reversals, sealed redirects, field freezes.
Short, testable moves that end the loop without feeding it. Pick the one that fits your moment.
Move: Set distance by cadence, not apology.
Why it works: Territory is claimed by consistent rhythm, not words.
Move: Refuse the flip that reframes your clarity as arrogance.
Why it works: Cuts the system law they rely on beneath the script.
Move: Break the pairing of their noise with your stress memory.
Why it works: No anchor, no re-triggerability.
