What Kind of Insecurity Do You Fall Into in Relationships?
Most of us have a pattern. Not a flaw, not a diagnosis — a pattern. A particular way we become anxious, withdrawn, or self-erasing when a relationship feels uncertain. A particular thing we do when we sense distance, or coldness, or the possibility of loss. These patterns usually developed for good reasons. They were responses to real experiences — ways of staying safe, staying connected, staying loved. They made sense once. They may still feel necessary now, even when they cost you something. This test is not here to judge your pattern. It's here to help you see it — because seeing it is the first step toward having a little more choice about it. There are no right or wrong answers. Answer as honestly as you can, based on how you actually tend to feel and behave — not how you think you should.
