You're not needy. You're not cold. You're not bad at intimacy.
Your nervous system learned ways to stay safe — and it may still be reaching for those same strategies now.
The five survival responses — fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and flop — don't stop at the door when intimacy begins. They come in with you. They shape whether you go still, disappear, perform, rage, or collapse. And they determine what you actually need to come back online.
This quiz has 15 questions and takes about four minutes. At the end, you'll see your primary nervous system pattern in intimacy — and what your body is actually asking for.
