Pushing People Away Quiz

Standards, or an exit dug in advance?

Answer for the last few people who got close. The questions start with what you want and end on the one you ended before he could. You leave with the pattern named, and one small dare to stay a little longer.

  • Answer for the ones who got closeEasy questions first. Near the end, the week it got good and you went quiet.
  • See what sends you to the exitYour answers lean toward one pattern. It comes back named, with how often.
  • Stay for one dareWritten from that pattern, and small enough to do this week.

Standards, or an exit dug in advance?

The test is whether the fault was there before he got close. Standards are a no to a man who is wrong for you. Pushing people away is what happens when the no arrives the week he says he is sure.

Your friends call it standards, and from outside you cannot tell the two apart. From inside, one leaves you free. The other has you finding a fault in something you were happy with 2 days ago.

Find out why you leave when it gets good

Show me the one I keep picking

You leave with a name, and the dares start small

This page names the pattern and leaves the size out of it. One sitting cannot tell a bad run of dates from years of leaving first.

In the app you check in for about 30 seconds a day and see which pattern was behind what happened. Each week brings one dare from your own answers. The first are sized for a stranger or a text, and the ones with people close to you come later.

Get back the parts of you that you filed down to keep everyone else comfortable. 30 seconds a day, all the way back to 100% and past it.

Questions

Is this quiz a real test?

No. It cannot tell you whether he was right for you, and it diagnoses nothing. It names which of 11 patterns your answers chose most.

Do you keep my answers?

Your answers stay in this tab. Anything you tap in the app stays on your phone, and the vent is read by a model only once you say yes.

Where is the score?

A single sitting can name the pattern but cannot measure it. Any percentage would be invented. You get that number, how much of you is showing, in the app.

What do I get at the end?

The pattern you picked most, named, and how often it came up. 2 more sit under it, unnamed. Then a dare, and you pick which day.
