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 “My house will never measure up to hers”, including the private rule underneath it: The private rule is that her home is the benchmark and yours is on probation. Every uneven shelf, outdated fixture, or untidy corner gets treated like a sign that you came in second before the conversation even ended.

ACTIVE
Active pattern
