01When someone truly gets close to me, I start looking for flaws or creating distance.

02When I sense distance between us, I focus on seeking reassurance instead of returning to my own life.

03I sometimes test the other person or gather clues to feel sure I am loved.

04As a relationship deepens, I neglect my routines, friendships or personal space.

05Showing that I need someone feels like weakness or a risk.

06I find it hard to trust that closeness and freedom can exist in the same relationship.

07I read a small step back as abandonment or a loss of love.

08When feelings intensify, I either shut down completely or quickly seek more closeness.
