I'm likely to get involved with social activities within my community and I am not socially awkward.

I like, admire, and value myself; nothing is holding me back.

I grew up in a family that did not talk about personal feelings.

I feel a deep connection to the people around me and feel empowered to help others but always take care of myself first before helping others.

I've survived my painful past by using avoidance techniques to cope and survive.

I don't experience a deep sense of guilt.

I express a general positive attitude towards life and others who come into contact with me while I am unfailingly my own best friend.

I frequently say negative things to myself and have a hard time accepting compliments.

I strive to live in the moment and feel very little need for emotional escapism. I like what I see when I look in the mirror.

I take unnecessary risks and/or engage in self-sabotaging behaviors.

I apologize all of the time; even when it is not my fault or out of my control (such as the weather).
