Rejection sensitivity is an adaptive survival mechanism to a non-ideal environment growing up. If caregivers sort of blame you for their bad mood and they punish you for like annoying them, then you will become sensitive to rejection. People who are sensitive to rejection have different brains than those who don't. There are questionnaires that you can take that will actually measure the level of rejection sensitivity you have.
