How It Works
Hoovering is named after the vacuum — it sucks you back in. Structural patterns include: manufactured urgency ('I need to tell you something important'), false change claims ('I've been doing the work'), nostalgia weaponization ('remember when we...'), and triangulation ('someone told me you...'). Our scanner identifies which pattern is operating.
Common Examples
“I know you said not to contact you, but I need to tell you something.”
“I've changed. I swear. Just give me one conversation.”
“I saw something that reminded me of us and I just couldn't not reach out.”
“Your mom told me you haven't been doing well. I'm worried about you.”
