What this self-check measures
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “If I speak up, I'll turn red”, including the private rule underneath it: If my face flushes when I speak, everyone sees it as a sign of weakness or dishonesty, and that visible sign will damage how they perceive me more than my actual words will help.

PRESENT
Present in the background
“If I speak up, I'll turn red” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “My face is information to me, not a headline to the room.”
ACTIVE
Active pattern
“If I speak up, I'll turn red” is shaping action often enough to deserve a deliberate counterexample. Start privately and concretely: In your next small-group conversation, speak once on a topic you have a real view on, then afterward ask one person what they noticed about what you said—not your appearance. Record their answer silently.
DOMINANT
Getting the final word
Right now, “If I speak up, I'll turn red” is steering many of the moments you measured. That is a pattern reading, not a diagnosis or character verdict. Begin with one reversible receipt: In your next small-group conversation, speak once on a topic you have a real view on, then afterward ask one person what they noticed about what you said—not your appearance. Record their answer silently.
