Where are you right now?

Choose the answer that best reflects your current friendships. This is a relationship check-in, not a label.

No login. No saved answers. Just a score you can use to start a better conversation.

1When I spend time with my friends, I usually feel...

Encouraged, confident, and like myself. Mostly good, with occasional doubts. Drained, unsure, or slightly off. Worse about myself than before.

2In my friendships, I feel like I can...

Be completely myself without hesitation. Be myself most of the time. Hold back parts of who I am. Act like someone different to fit in.

3The influence of my friends is...

Positive and pushes me to grow. Mixed, depending on the situation. Often distracting or unhelpful. Pulling me in a direction I do not feel good about.

4When something feels off in a friendship, I usually...

Address it in a healthy way. Think about it but do not always act. Avoid it and hope it improves. Ignore it or let it build over time.

5The conversations I have with my friends are...

Real, meaningful, and honest. Sometimes deeper, but often surface-level. Mostly surface-level. Rarely meaningful or connected.

6When it comes to peer pressure, I feel...

Confident saying no when needed. Somewhat confident, depending on the group. Unsure and easily influenced. Pressured to go along most of the time.

7In my friendships, I tend to...

Observe situations and protect my peace. Sometimes step back, sometimes get pulled in. Get caught up in others' emotions or drama. Feel overwhelmed by other people's issues.

8I have at least one person I can go to for advice who...

Gives honest, helpful perspective. Tries to help but is not always clear. Is there, but I do not fully open up. I do not really have that person.

9My friendships feel...

Supportive, balanced, and healthy. Mostly good, but inconsistent. Uneven or draining at times. Heavy, stressful, or confusing.

10Right now, I would say my friendships are...

Moving me in a positive direction. Okay, but could be stronger. Holding me back more than helping. In need of a real reset.
