Adjusting to Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria
Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) can lead to intense feelings of embarrassment and shame, especially when it manifests in relationships. Individuals experiencing RSD often feel the need to remove themselves from situations to prevent emotional outbursts, which can be misconstrued by their partners.
