Script Framework:
1. Name the pattern calmly:
“You said you’d call yesterday — when you don’t follow through, it makes it hard to trust you with bigger things.”
2. State your boundary:
“I need consistency with small commitments before I can say yes to bigger asks.”
3. Hold the line without over-explaining.
This isn’t about shaming — it’s nervous system safety.
Predictability is the foundation of trust. Train people how to relate to you by holding this standard.
