<p>Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria affects how you think, feel, and react to people. In this episode, I explain how it shows up in my own life in clear, real terms.</p><p>I talk about what happens when a small comment feels huge, when silence feels like rejection, and when criticism hits harder than it should. I share how RSD links to autism and ADHD, how it impacts friendships, work, and relationships, and why your reactions make sense given how your brain processes threat and safety.</p><p>You will hear practical examples from my day to day life. Missed messages. Tone changes. Feedback that sticks for hours or days. I also explain the internal spiral that can follow and how it affects confidence, decision making, and burnout.</p><p>This episode is for you if you feel emotions intensely, replay conversations on loop, or avoid situations because rejection feels unbearable. You are not broken. There is a reason this happens, and there are ways to manage it with awareness, structure, and self trust.</p><p>If you have ever thought, why does this hurt so much, this episode is for you.</p>
