Rejection Sensitivity and the Highly Sensitive ManAh the sting of rejection! For many Highly Sensitive’s rejection can be devastating. Afterall, many of us faced rejection our whole lives. We were rejected because we were ‘too sensitive’, too emotional’, or ‘Too quiet’. One thing we know for sure, we were ‘Too misunderstood’. This unacceptance of who we are cuts to the bone at times, so we develop strategies and coping mechanisms to help navigate an unaccepting world. In today's episode, we explore what we have come to call, ‘Rejection Sensitivity’, not to be mistaken with ‘Rejection Sensitive dysphoria’, rather a softer more nuanced version. Tune in and be inspired! Let’s Keep the Conversation Going!We’d love to hear your thoughts!
