The Third Aspect of Rejection Sensitivity

Roxanne Jones: If you're sensitive to rejection, your brain will interpret a neutral stimulus in a negative way. She says people who are sensitive to rejection have such difficult experiences of life because there's actually a lot of neutral or benign stimuli out there but our brains are going to interpret them as like a negative towards us. Jones: The real problem that people with rejection sensitivity run into is that this is kind of like learning a survival strategy that then stops helping you survive and actually causes you problems later on in life.
