What does DEAD (Dead Inside) mean?
Am I even alive in there?

You roast yourself harder than anyone else, and compliments feel suspicious on arrival.
Your inner signal is fuzzy and the question of who you are keeps buffering.
Comfort and safety often outrank ambition. Not every life needs sprint mode.
Your relationship alarm system is sensitive enough to turn a late reply into a full season finale.
You keep your emotional investment under control. The door is not locked, but the security is strict.
You want intimacy and independence in adjustable amounts.
You look at the world through a defensive filter: doubt first, approach later.
You can follow structure when needed, but you do not worship it.
Your sense of meaning runs low, so a lot of life can feel like staging rather than conviction.
Your risk-avoidance system boots up before your ambition does.
Decision-making can become a committee meeting that runs way past schedule.
Your execution drive has a suspiciously intimate relationship with deadlines.
Your social engine warms up slowly, and initiative usually needs a full breath first.
Your boundaries are strong, and you instinctively step back when someone gets too close too fast.
You read the room and usually split the difference between honesty and social smoothness.
