Do you hate attention?

Do you hate attention?
  • When someone asks, โ€˜How are you?โ€™ is your standard response, โ€˜Iโ€™m fineโ€™, even if youโ€™re not?
  • Do you put off going to the doctor, thinking, โ€˜Iโ€™ll be fine in a couple of daysโ€™?
  • Do you tend to be the person everyone else goes to with their issues?
  • Would you say you generally like to be in control, or to be the โ€˜rescuerโ€™ who looks after other people?
  • Do you struggle to ask for help?
