Take the quiz
  • Different face, same story

    You genuinely don't understand why you keep ending up in the same relationship. Spoiler: You can't see your pattern.

  • One unreturned text away from a full spiral

    You're constantly on high alert in relationships. You're not crazy—you're just operating from a place of constant fear that they're about to leave.

  • Hard conversations? You'd rather vanish into thin air

    You're allergic to discomfort. DTR talks, conflict, vulnerability—you'd rather disappear than deal with any of it.

  • You are whoever they need you to be

    Your sense of self is... negotiable. You morph into their perfect partner, then wonder why nothing feels right.

  • You want what you refuse to give

    You preach emotional availability while being emotionally unavailable. You want honesty while keeping things vague. You're a walking contradiction.

  • You've done the work. Now go find someone who matches your energy.

    You know yourself, communicate well, regulate your emotions, and show up with integrity. Congrats—you're the unicorn everyone's working toward.
