Codependency & Fawn Response Assessment (CFRI-15)

Do you feel responsible for managing other people's feelings, moods, and emotional reactions?

Do you experience severe anxiety, guilt, or panic when you have to say 'no' to a request?

Do you frequently anticipate what others need and provide it before they even ask, often exhausting yourself?

Do you derive your sense of worth almost entirely from how helpful, needed, or accommodating you are?

When someone around you is angry or unhappy, do you automatically assume it is your fault or your job to fix it?

Do you stay in relationships long after they have become emotionally, financially, or physically destructive?

Do you suppress your own opinions, desires, and values to avoid conflict or potential rejection?

Do you attract partners or friends who are emotionally unavailable, addicted, or chronically high-conflict?

Do you feel resentful when others do not reciprocate the extreme care and consideration you give them?

Is it physically uncomfortable for you to relax when someone in the room is visibly frustrated or stressed?

Do you feel guilty or selfish whenever you spend time, energy, or money exclusively on yourself?

Do you chronically appease threatening or hostile people as an unconscious survival reflex (the fawn response)?

Do you lose your sense of identity, hobbies, and friendships once you enter a new romantic relationship?

Do you confuse intense drama, emotional rescuing, and pity with genuine love and intimacy?

Do you find it difficult to identify what you actually want, feel, or need independent of other people's input?
