Living your own life or someone else's script?

Does Mum know best?
Find out how much your decisions are really yours — or whether you're just playing an old family playlist.

1. Who makes the important decisions in your life?

Usually not me — I wait for approval or a hint Sometimes I ask for advice, but I decide myself Me and only me

2. How do you feel about your parents' expectations?

I try to live up to them, even when I don't want to I think about them sometimes, but live my own way I live my own life — my parents' opinion is theirs

3. Your life goals…

Come from “how it should be” or “what everyone does” Some are mine, some are “from the family” Are 100% mine, from the inside

4. How do you react to “what Mum said”?

I agree or do it out of a sense of duty Sometimes I do it, if I need to It goes in one ear and out the other — I think for myself

5. If people close to you oppose your decisions?

I give in so as not to spoil the relationship Sometimes I listen, sometimes I stand my ground I stand up for myself, even if no one supports me

6. Have you ever “lived someone else's life”?

Often — it's easier to adapt than to argue Sometimes I catch myself doing it Rarely — I prefer my own path

7. How often do you change your decisions because of what others think?

Often — I'm afraid of disappointing people Sometimes I hesitate, but stick to my choice Almost never — what matters most is my choice

8. What's your relationship with personal boundaries?

I have almost none — anyone can interfere Sometimes I lose them, but I get them back I manage my own boundaries

9. What feelings does independence bring up in you?

Fear that I won't cope Sometimes anxious, sometimes fine Pride and excitement

10. Is your life your choice?

I'm afraid to even think about it — what if I'm living wrong? Half and half Yes! I'm the author of my life
