Deep dives
Understanding Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria
Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is an intense emotional response to perceived rejection or criticism, particularly common among individuals with ADHD or neurodivergent traits. It can manifest as hypersensitivity, fear of abandonment, and emotional volatility. Recognizing RSD as a neurobiological response is crucial to avoid mislabeling it as a character flaw or other conditions. Open communication and empathy are essential for managing RSD in relationships, encouraging honest conversations and active listening. Emphasizing kindness and empathy, rather than trying to fix the problem, can help partners navigate RSD more effectively.
