What might that behaviour actually be asking for? Pick what you've noticed — in someone else, or in yourself — and get a calm, non-diagnosing read, plus one thing to try.
This is a lens, not mind-reading. The same behaviour can come from different places in different people — use this as a starting guess to test gently, never as a verdict on someone you know.

Questions people ask
What if the read doesn't match what I'm actually seeing?
That's expected sometimes — this is a lens, not mind-reading. The same behaviour can come from different places in different people, so treat the read as a starting guess to test gently, not a verdict. If it doesn't fit, trust what you actually know about the person over the general pattern.
Is this meant to diagnose someone?
No — it's explicitly a non-diagnosing read, a starting guess to test gently, never a verdict on someone you know. Use it to open a gentler conversation, not to explain someone to themselves.
