Private wording reflection
Repair an overpromise with a smaller true commitment.
Draft a repair after overpromising that names the gap, avoids excuses, and replaces the promise with one realistic next step.
Best fit
People acknowledging that they offered more than they can deliver without using a new promise to escape discomfort.
Use the result carefully
- Remove names and identifying details that are not needed.
- Read every pattern match in the surrounding context.
- Edit the draft so it reflects your own experience and one doable request.
- Do not send a repair script if doing so could increase danger or retaliation.
