QUIET
Quiet signal
“She's just waiting for me to slip up” appears, but it rarely gets the final say. Keep this line available for higher-pressure moments: “A comment about how I did something is not evidence of how I should be doing it.”

“She's just waiting for me to slip up”
See what this thought is changing.
Five quick questions show how often it appears, how believable it feels, and what it makes you avoid. You’ll get one private next step.
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 “She's just waiting for me to slip up”, including the private rule underneath it: Every small failure I make is going into a record that proves I don't belong here. She is the standard, and I am always being measured. My place in this family depends on never giving her a legitimate complaint.

PRESENT
Present in the background
“She's just waiting for me to slip up” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “I can mess up the casserole and still be safe in this kitchen.”
ACTIVE
Active pattern
“She's just waiting for me to slip up” is shaping action often enough to deserve a deliberate counterexample. Start privately and concretely: Write down three small things you did in the last 48 hours that you thought she was silently judging. Then notice: did she actually comment on any of them, or did you assign the judgment yourself? Write what actually happened versus what you imagined she was thinking.
DOMINANT
Getting the final word
Right now, “She's just waiting for me to slip up” is steering many of the moments you measured. That is a pattern reading, not a diagnosis or character verdict. Begin with one reversible receipt: Write down three small things you did in the last 48 hours that you thought she was silently judging. Then notice: did she actually comment on any of them, or did you assign the judgment yourself? Write what actually happened versus what you imagined she was thinking.
