Are you loving out of neediness or out of true love?

Many people believe they stay in a relationship because they are deeply in love. In reality, what keeps them holding on may be the fear of being alone, the need for emotional reassurance, or the feeling that their identity depends on being loved by someone else. Genuine love allows people to remain themselves while growing together, whereas emotional neediness often leads to self-sacrifice, people-pleasing, and losing sight of one's own needs. This assessment explores whether your relationship is driven more by connection and mutual growth or by the fear of losing the relationship itself.
