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 “I'm the reliable one, so I don't get chosen”, including the private rule underneath it: Reliability is the fee that keeps me in this family; if I ever stop delivering, there's no other reason left for them to pick me for anything, including the parts that feel like belonging.

PRESENT
Present in the background
“I'm the reliable one, so I don't get chosen” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “I can be dependable and still ask to be picked for something good.”
ACTIVE
Active pattern
“I'm the reliable one, so I don't get chosen” is shaping action often enough to deserve a deliberate counterexample. Start privately and concretely: Open a private note and list the last three things your family asked you to handle versus the last three things they invited you into, just for yourself.
DOMINANT

Begin with one reversible receipt: Open a private note and list the last three things your family asked you to handle versus the last three things they invited you into, just for yourself.
