Smoother

Soft-truth bender

Polite · Smoothing · Allergic-to-friction

You said 'I love it' before you finished hating it. Room smooth, you tired.

What this archetype looks like

Your dominant pattern is the Smoother. You tell white lies to keep things smooth ("yes, it's great"), you lie about being available so you can stay home, you exaggerate enthusiasm so people don't feel bad, and you'd say "I love it" before "I don't". The good part is social warmth and low friction. Watch out: chronic smoothing means the people closest to you don't actually know what you think.
