RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria)

just found out that i probably have RSD as well as ADHD and fuck. That explains so much. Like why I get anxiety over almost every post I make on here, why I am terrified of public speaking when I used to be fine, why I can't imagine ever asking someone out unless I'm sure they like me back because what if they say no? Why i feel self conscious and weird in front of random strangers i will never see again. So much shit that I thought was rejection trauma or something. I wish I'd known this earlier and I hope more people can learn about it earlier than I did.

As someone with ADHD and really bad rejection sensative dismorphia, it was really bad being in a friend group where i was no ones first choice. They would always make plans infront of me without inviting me, even turning me away from one of my good friends. I felt very rejected being in this group of no one who ever wanted to hang out with me. The next year I have a different lunch than all of them and reconnect with the friend they seperated me from. She is now my best friend and randomly calls me asking what im doing that night. Its very validating being invited to the randomest things, like im eating dinner with her family!? Needless to say if you are stuck with that group of friends just know that it gets better and you will get through it

Friendly reminder that for ppl w RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria), reprimand is included in rejection. Sometimes we won’t confront for fear of reprimand because the possibility of that kind of rejection feels world ending even if the outcome logically won’t be that bad.
