Protector

Pocket-sized fibber

Editing · Omitting · Self-saving

You round down what you spent and round up how much you slept. Creative.

What this archetype looks like

Your dominant pattern is the Self-Protector. You edit how much you drank, spent or did to avoid judgement, you've lied to avoid an argument you knew was coming, you leave things out that make you look bad, and your version of past events is gentler on you than the real one. The good part is self-preservation. The hard part is partners and friends slowly figuring out the gap between your story and reality, and trust quietly draining.
