The Provider"If I can't provide, I'm not worthy of being loved."Leads with what he can offer, deflects care when it comes back, and keeps a quiet tally of his own usefulness.
The Over-Giver"If I don't sacrifice my needs, they'll leave."Says yes before checking in, resents it later, and can't name a desire without apologizing for it.
The Romantic"I can have passion, or peace. Never both."Reads steadiness as the beginning of the end, chases the highs, and leaves safe love on the table.
The Performer"If I stop performing, I'll be abandoned."Wears masks in the world, lives with a quiet loneliness, since no one has met the true person underneath.
The Rescuer"If I take care of them, I will be loved."Gives without abandon, fixes instead of connecting, and stays long past the point they should have left.
The One Who Chases"Love that comes easily can't be real love."Runs toward whoever is just out of reach, and runs away the moment love gets real.
The One Who Braces"If I let my guard down, I'll get hurt again."Keeps the upper hand, reads closeness as danger, and never fully relaxes into love.
The Peacekeeper"If I keep everyone happy, I stay safe."Says yes when she means no, difficulty setting boundaries, abandons own needs.
The Rock"If I'm the strong one, they can't discard me."Carries more than his share, refuses help even when it's offered plainly, and never lets anyone see the weight.
The Chameleon"If I become what they want, I'll belong."Shape shifts to match the room, and can't answer what she actually wants.
The One Who Leaves First"If I reject you first, you can't reject me."Finds the flaw early, calls it clarity, and leaves while things are still good.
The One Who Outruns"If I slow down, something bad will happen."Stacks the calendar, calls it “drive,” and can't sit still long enough to feel what's underneath.
