Over the three years I've been here, I've seen pretty much the same reactions and statements from everyone's WAS. I was thinking it might be incredibly helpful to the newbies if we all posted standard alien/WAS script here for reference.

If anything, it helps depersonalize it and leads to detaching!

My favorite:

"I was going to do X, but since you did Y you ruined it and I'm not going to do X anymore."

This is where X is something the WAS thinks you want in terms of reconciliation or their responsibilities to you.

It's just manipulation. They weren't really going to do X, but they're trying to control your actions in some way.

What else y'all?
