In case you want the definition of RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria): Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) is when you experience severe emotional pain because of a failure or feeling rejected. This condition is linked to ADHD and experts suspect it happens due to differences in brain structure. Those differences mean your brain can’t regulate rejection-related emotions and behaviors, making them much more intense.In 2025, I will bombard you with a host of other human conditions, both neurodivergent and neurotypical.

71. A little end of year note - Steph's Take

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/872791/open_sms">Send us a text</a>Today&apos;s episode takes us to a city close to my heart: Austin, the capital of Texas. My guest Viktoria, originally from Germany, tells us how she ended up in the Lone Star State, and you&apos;ll find out why we are expat twins!   Viktoria tells us about her early days in the US, her food truck business, and her move to Texas just before the pandemic. Since we recorded this in September, which is technically still summer in Austin, we also talk a lot about Texas weather. In true German fashion, we don&apos;t mince our words and discuss everything from politics to religion, and if you&apos;re an American listener, you might be surprised by our viewpoints from time to time. This is a very European episode. Enjoy at your peril. You can find Viktoria on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/worldscollidepod/'>Instagram</a>, and follow her Worlds Collide podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts! Don&apos;t hesitate to contact her if you feel like being a guest on her show, she&apos;s a great host.
