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. Acknowledging this struggle is vital; it is important to communicate with partners about the need for space to manage RSD properly. Open discussions about these feelings can alleviate the pressure and foster understanding within the relationship, ultimately enhancing emotional maturity.
