To score IMFW, you generally need to answer questions indicating high emotional sensitivity, a strong need for reassurance, and a tendency to be easily affected by external opinions. You likely agree with statements about needing validation and being hurt by criticism.

✓ you might be IMFW if... you've ever cried over a mean comment online
✓ ... you need a pep talk after every slightly negative performance review
✓ ... you re-read old texts from your crush to analyze their true feelings
✓ ... you secretly wish you had a personal hype person
✓ ... you're the friend everyone calls when they need to vent (but rarely ask how *you're* doing)
✓ ... you have a carefully curated playlist for every possible mood
