Hello Emma,
Profile synthesis
On the terrain of connection with others, what follows describes relational dynamics — ways of relating that can evolve, not verdicts. Your answers reveal some moderate signals. Without dramatizing, these elements can be observed and discussed with a trusted person. A moderate situation is not a trivial one: it describes very real difficulties, simply not yet overwhelming. It is often at this stage that it is easiest to act, before things settle in for good. Briefly noting the moments when the situation weighs more — when, with whom, in what context — helps you see clearly and makes the conversation easier, whether with a loved one or a professional.

Detailed analysis
This tendency is discreet in you — here is what it tells about you.
Your answers indicate an ability to share emotions and accept help without major resistance.
Your answers for vulnerability avoidance do not indicate that this dimension is a central point of the situation you currently describe. This may mean that the situation does not particularly engage this facet, or that it has remained stable on this point. This is not a detail, however: knowing where the situation does not weigh helps you better pinpoint where it does, and therefore focus your attention in the right place. This observation is useful to keep as a benchmark: if the situation evolves, comparing it to future answers will help measure its meaning and direction. A dimension that is stable today may stay that way, or shift if the context changes — hence the value of not losing sight of it.
Recommendations
- ✓You can continue cultivating this openness.
- ✓You can explore the other dimensions for specific areas of attention.
This tendency is present in you — here is what it sheds light on.
You sometimes feel the need to decompress or regain space. This is often healthy — but it can generate confusion or pain for the other person if it is not named.
Your answers for distance control reveal moderate signals. Without dramatizing, these elements deserve to be observed over time: a moderate dimension that settles in can become more pervasive through accumulation. The moderate level, in a situation, is often the moment when one hesitates — "am I overreacting? am I imagining things?": this doubt is normal, and it takes nothing away from the legitimacy of what you feel. If you wish, taking brief notes about the moments when this dimension is more present can help understand the triggers and spot any patterns. This tracking can also be useful if you decide to talk to a professional or someone you trust: concrete, dated elements are easier to share than a diffuse impression.
Recommendations
- ✓You can name your need for space to your partner when you feel it — without it becoming a disappearance.
- ✓You can identify what triggers these distancing reflexes.

7-day observation journal
Each day, spot one situation where “Distance control” showed up. Note the automatic thought, the emotion (0–100) and what you did. Then write one more balanced, alternative reading. After 7 days, re-read your notes: the recurring patterns become visible — the first step to change them.

How this report is produced
This report is generated by artificial intelligence from your answers only, structured around recognised clinical models (attachment theory, CBT, Young’s schemas…) cited within the report. No health professional is involved in writing it. It is a self-knowledge tool, not a diagnosis: the analyses are avenues for understanding to weigh against your own experience, and do not replace the assessment of a health professional.
