I am postponing the decision and hoping that the situation will resolve itself. I am analyzing all the options, but I still can't make a decision.

Select an answer:

I express my feelings through art, sports, or other creative forms. I am withdrawing into myself and trying to process it on my own. I am angry and expressing my frustration outwardly.

Physical activity, such as running or going to the gym. Music or creative activities that allow me to unwind my mind. A conversation with a close person who will listen to me without judgment. Focusing on routines and practical tasks that give me a sense of control. Disconnecting from the world – sleep, games, movies, or social media.

When you get into a conflict, what is your first reaction?

Select an answer:

I am trying to analyze the situation and understand the perspectives of all parties involved. I express my feelings and expect the other party to understand them.

I will leave to take time to think, but I will not return to the topic.

I take it as part of learning and experience for the future. I blame myself and think about what I could have done differently.

What do you think about someone showing their weakness?

Select an answer:

It is a sign of sincerity and self-reflection. It is important to know to whom I will show my weakness. Everyone has their weak moments, but they shouldn't show them. It could be a risk because some people might misuse it. It is better to appear strong, even when I don't feel that way.
