Filer

What this archetype looks like

Your dominant pattern is the Filer. You remember exactly who hurt you and how (even years later), you can treat people with smiles without having forgiven them, you don't actively rehash but you don't forget, and you keep certain people at polite distance forever. The good part is calm boundary management without burning bridges visibly. The hard part is energy spent on quiet maintenance instead of real closeness or real distance.

Strengths
