RSD is frustrating and isolating, to say the least.
Here are seven things people dont realize youre doing because you have rejection sensitivity dysphoria.
You are self-conscious ashell.
Youre easily embarrassed and feel as though youre walking on eggshells throughout any and all social interactions.
This is because youre bracing yourself for what you believe is inevitable:rejection.
This can lead to over-apologizing and over-explaining yourself.
And in the end, all of this self-monitoring just leads you to being more self-conscious and anxious.
And yet, you cant stop.
Its a vicious cycle.
You dont believe in yourself.
If you have RSD, you most likely also have low self-esteem as well.
Your self-trust is basically non-existent.
Your self-esteem is entirely dependent on what other people think about you.
And when what they think is negative, youre utterly devastated.
This fear can sometimes make you procrastinate.
Alternatively, your fear of failure can also lead to perfectionism and over-correction.
You do this as a means of self-protection and to prevent potential rejection.
But all it really does is make you feel lonely and disconnected.
You get incredibly worried when someone is short via text.
Vague or short interactionsmake you spiral, such as someone texting in a short manner.
You dont handle criticism well.
You take any negative feedback as an indictment of your character.
Youre just wounded by it.
You just want to be loved, so you overcompensate through people-pleasing behavior.
This means you always say yes, even if the best thing for you is to say no.
You bend over backward for people in an unnecessary and even self-destructive way.
Its exhausting and painful.
