      "desc": "10 questions from the People Pleasing Scale (Blötner, 2026), a purpose-built, peer-reviewed measure of how much you set your own needs aside for other people. Discover where you sit today, from Boundaried to Self-Neglecting, with your strongest pattern and one gentle place to grow. A self-reflection snapshot, not a clinical or diagnostic test.",
      "recommendation": "Answer for how you actually behave with the people in your life, not how you think a healthier version of you would answer. There's no pass mark, people-pleasing shows up more with some people and less with others, so treat the result as a mirror on a pattern, not a label. If putting everyone else first is costing you your health or your relationships, a therapist can help you build boundaries that stick, this quiz is a starting point, not a substitute for real support.",

          "name": "Boundaried",
          "desc": "Your answers point to Boundaried, someone who cares about others without routinely losing themselves in the process. You can say no, you notice your own needs before they've been ignored for days, and helping people feels like a choice rather than a reflex you can't switch off. This isn't coldness, it just means your sense of worth doesn't depend on constantly proving it through what you do for others. The one thing worth watching is the flip side: boundaries held too rigidly can read as distant to people who are used to warmer give-and-take, so it's worth checking that 'I have limits' hasn't quietly become 'I don't let people in.' This is a self-reflection snapshot, not a clinical or diagnostic measure.",
          "recommendation": "Keep the boundaries, they're working, and use the spare capacity they free up deliberately rather than by default. Notice the moments a no comes easily and ask whether a considered yes, offered because you want to rather than because you feel you must, would strengthen a relationship that matters to you. Boundaried people make the steadiest friends and partners precisely because their care is chosen, not owed, let the people close to you feel that."
        },
        "considerate": {
          "name": "Considerate",
          "desc": "Your answers place you at Considerate, a workable balance between caring for others and looking after yourself. Most of the time you can tell the difference between a request worth saying yes to and one you're only agreeing to out of guilt, and your own needs generally get a seat at the table. It isn't perfect, there are people or situations where you still bend further than you'd like, but it isn't the default pattern of your life either. This is a genuinely common, healthy place to sit, most people who care about others land somewhere around here. This is a mirror of where you are right now, not a judgement, and certainly not a diagnosis.",
          "recommendation": "Notice which specific relationships or situations pull you away from this balance, a certain family member, a certain kind of request, because that's where the real work is, not everywhere at once. Practise naming your own preference out loud before you default to whatever keeps the peace. You don't need to overhaul how you show up for people, you need to keep the exceptions from quietly becoming the rule."
        },
        "accommodating": {
          "name": "Accommodating",
          "desc": "Your answers point to Accommodating, a strong, well-worn habit of putting other people's comfort ahead of your own. You likely say yes before you've properly asked yourself what you want, feel responsible for moods and outcomes that aren't fully yours to carry, and find refusing a request genuinely difficult even when it costs you. From the outside this often reads as kindness, and it partly is, but underneath it can also be a way of managing anxiety about disappointing people or being seen as difficult. The people around you may not even realise how much this costs you, because you rarely show them. This is a self-reflection result, not a clinical or diagnostic measure.",
          "recommendation": "Start small and concrete: pick one low-stakes request this week and either delay your answer ('let me think about it') or say no outright, and notice that the relationship survives. Get curious about the feeling right before you agree to something you don't want to do, that's the moment worth interrupting, not the moment after. If the pattern feels bigger than habit, tangled up with anxiety, low self-worth, or a hard time you've been through, a therapist can help you build boundaries that hold without the guilt spiral, that support is worth having, not a sign you've failed at this alone."
        },
        "self_neglecting": {
          "name": "Self-Neglecting",
          "desc": "Your answers point to Self-Neglecting, a pattern where your own needs consistently come last, often to the point of real cost to your health, time, or peace of mind. You likely feel responsible for how everyone around you feels, struggle to refuse almost any request, and may have quietly stopped noticing what you actually want because it's been so long since it steered a decision. This is exhausting to carry and, importantly, it isn't a moral failing or a permanent trait, it's usually a learned way of staying safe, liked, or needed that made sense at some point and has outgrown its usefulness. This is a self-reflection snapshot, not a diagnosis of a personality disorder or any clinical condition.",
          "recommendation": "This pattern is genuinely hard to shift alone, and that's not a criticism, it's the honest truth about habits this deep. A therapist, particularly one who works with boundaries, codependency, or people-pleasing directly, can help you unpick where it came from and practise a different way of relating that doesn't leave you running on empty. In the meantime, the smallest useful move is noticing, just once a day, a moment where you did something for someone else at real cost to yourself, and asking whether it was truly a choice. Please take the toll on you seriously, you're allowed to matter in your own life."
