SCRIPT CHECK · 60 SECONDS
Five quick questions show how often it appears, how believable it feels, and what it makes you avoid. You’ll get one private next step.
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “If I report it, I lose my spot”, including the private rule underneath it: Disclosure is sacrifice. The moment you name what's wrong, you trade the roster spot for treatment. The only way to keep your place is to keep it secret, even from the people whose job it is to help you.
QUIET
“If I report it, I lose my spot” appears, but it rarely gets the final say. Keep this line available for higher-pressure moments: “If I hide this, the problem gets bigger and I lose more time later. Reporting it now is the actual way to keep my season.”
PRESENT
“If I report it, I lose my spot” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “The medical staff can only help with what they know. A secret injury is a injury that gets worse.”
ACTIVE
“If I report it, I lose my spot” is shaping action often enough to deserve a deliberate counterexample. Start privately and concretely: Write down your specific fear—exactly what you think will happen if you tell the medical staff about this symptom—then report the symptom and write down what actually happened. Compare the two.
DOMINANT
Right now, “If I report it, I lose my spot” is steering many of the moments you measured. That is a pattern reading, not a diagnosis or character verdict. Begin with one reversible receipt: Write down your specific fear—exactly what you think will happen if you tell the medical staff about this symptom—then report the symptom and write down what actually happened. Compare the two.
