Loop Overview
Common patterns that run when pressure is present.
Loops aren’t personality traits. They aren’t flaws.
They’re short-term strategies that worked once — and stayed active too long.
Most people don’t notice a loop while they’re in it.
They just feel stuck, busy, or oddly justified.

The Avoidance Loop
You delay what matters to reduce discomfort now —
then feel pressure for not acting later.
Relief first. Cost later.
The Perfection Loop
You keep refining instead of finishing. Readiness becomes a moving target.
Better preparation replaces forward motion.
The Analysis Loop
You think your way around action. Clarity becomes something you chase instead of something you create.
Fear doing math.
The Fire Loop
You push with urgency and intensity. Speed replaces sustainability.
Momentum masks depletion.
The Armor Loop
You stay guarded to avoid being affected. Distance feels safer than engagement.
Protection becomes isolation.
The Caretaker Loop
You manage everyone else’s needs first. Your own priorities stay postponed.
Responsibility replaces choice.
The Attachment Loop
You hold onto what’s familiar — even when it no longer fits.
Letting go feels like loss, not transition.
Stability becomes stagnation.
The Identity Loop
You act in ways that preserve a self-image. Change feels like self-betrayal.
Who you’ve been outweighs what’s needed now.
The Shadow Loop
You avoid acknowledging what you don’t want to see. Discomfort stays active in the background.
What’s unspoken still runs.
