Imagine walking into a room full of unfamiliar people. What is the most likely thing you would notice first?

Select an answer:

The gazes of people who noticed me. A place where I could sit aside. Energy in the room – who is talking to whom and what is the atmosphere like. Details – colors, scents, lighting. I don't notice anything, switching to autopilot is safer.

When you feel overwhelmed, what does your escape island look like?

Select an answer:

Silence and nature, no one anywhere. Loud music or a movie that captivates me. A conversation with someone who does not judge me. Create something with your hands, something manual. A precisely planned day that keeps me together.

Imagine forgetting something important. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I get angry with myself, I am a responsible person. I'll be anxious, I hope no one finds out. I tell myself – it happens, let's move on. I will start looking for a quick solution and a plan B. I will think about why I forgot – what led me to that?

Which image is closer to you when the phrase "safe space" is mentioned?

Select an answer:

The view from the window at the rain when I am at home. The silence of the library or the old temple. A kitchen full of scents and conversations. A forest path where no one walks. It's not a place, it's a specific person.

How do you react when someone interrupts your silence?

Select an answer:

I get startled and for a moment I don't know what to say. I will smile, but I want to be alone quickly. I will listen – maybe they want to tell me something important. Unpleasant, but I can switch over. It depends on who it is.

Which situation exhausts you the most?

Select an answer:

Being among people when I have to pretend that I'm fine. When someone constantly corrects me. Doing nothing when I don't have a clear goal. When I have to talk about my feelings in front of someone. When I have a lot of options and I can't choose.

What type of space instantly calms you down?

Select an answer:

A small, cozy space with dim lighting. An open view and distance where one can take a deep breath. A room with familiar sounds and rhythm. A workspace where things make sense. A room full of books, plants, or art.

What sentence would you need to hear when you are exhausted?

Select an answer:

You don't have to solve it right now. It's okay to take a break. You are not alone in that. It's enough that you're here. Tell me what you need.

If you could live one day completely anonymously, what would you do?

Select an answer:

I would write or draw somewhere where no one knows me. I would observe people and think about their stories. I would talk to strangers, without expectations. I would try something daring that I normally wouldn't dare to do. I would get lost in nature and not come back all day.

What do people most often overlook about you?

Select an answer:

That I am more sensitive than I appear. That their energy tires me, even though I like them. That I can be strong even when I am silent. That I often fight an internal battle that I don't show. That I care more than I let on.
