Alright, so, today I’m gonna spill the beans on this thing I tried out – the emotional availability test. Sounds kinda fancy, right? But trust me, it’s just a way to kinda check in with yourself, see where you’re at on the whole being open and approachable front.
So, first off, I stumbled upon this test online. There are tons of them, honestly. I just picked one that looked, you know, legit enough. It was a bunch of questions, mostly about how I feel in relationships, how I handle conflict, and just general stuff about my emotions.
- I started by actually reading each question carefully. Seriously, some of them were worded in a way that made me stop and think, like “Damn, do I really do that?”
- Next, I answered honestly. This is key, guys. No point in lying to yourself, right? Even if the answer makes you cringe a little.
- Then, I tried not to overthink each answer. I just went with my gut feeling. First thought, best thought, and all that jazz.
The test itself took maybe 15-20 minutes. Nothing too crazy. After I finished, it gave me a score, along with a little breakdown of what that score means. Basically, it tells you how emotionally available you are based on your answers.
Here’s the kicker: The results actually surprised me a bit! I thought I was doing pretty well in the whole emotional availability department, but turns out, there were some areas where I could definitely improve. Like, I tend to shut down a bit when things get tough, which isn’t exactly the most emotionally available thing to do.
So, what did I do with this newfound knowledge? Well, I didn’t just shrug it off. I started thinking about why I do the things I do. Why do I shut down? What am I afraid of? It was like a little self-reflection party in my brain.
After that, I started actively trying to be more aware of my reactions in relationships. When I felt myself pulling away, I made a conscious effort to stay present and communicate. It wasn’t easy, and I definitely didn’t nail it every time, but I’m working on it.
Honestly, taking that emotional availability test was a real eye-opener. It gave me a starting point for understanding myself better and for building stronger, more meaningful connections with the people in my life. It’s not a magic bullet, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction. You know, it is like, grabbing a mirror and actually looking.
So, yeah, that’s my emotional availability test experience. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Just remember to be honest with yourself and use the results as a tool for growth, not as a reason to beat yourself up. Good luck!
