I avoid depending too much on anyone else.

I often switch between trust and suspicion depending on the situation.

I naturally assume cooperation is possible unless given a reason not to.

I expect most people to prioritise themselves first.

I usually protect myself first, even if cooperation could help both sides.

I believe trust should be earned slowly over time.

I cooperate only if there are clear rules or consequences.

My decision depends entirely on the emotional connection with the person.

I try to analyse the other person’s motives before deciding.

I stay cautiously optimistic but prepare for disappointment.
