Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria: It’s real, and it sucks.

It’s hard for some people to get over it.

In my article, Why Are There Constantly Being No Shows? I did mention my own experience of organizing my 12th birthday party, and no one showed up. Since then, I did manage some events only to have one or two people show up or none at all. This developed into Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria whenever I had to organize an event myself.

I get anxious, shake, and worry when I create a get-together. I have to admit that within the last 10 years, I had a few celebrations that I organized that had a lot more than two people, but those were rare. I still suffer from RSD whenever I have to do that.

What is Rejection Sensitive Dysphonia?

You can guess already what RSD really is. I know that everyone hates being rejected. Most people do pick themselves up and move on. Those people cannot seem to get past it every time they get left out of something.

RSD happens when someone gets overwhelmed and too emotional when rejected.

People who have Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria have a history of being rejected. I know what you are thinking: we all have a history of being shunned?

But do you have ADHD? Those are the people who most likely have RSD. Now imagine having a history of being rejected by everyone in your life. And all because of your inability to focus, pay attention, and/or sit still? Because of these, plus some other issues with ADHD, some people do have RSD and give up on making friends, organizing parties, etc.

Again, I admit it. I have ADHD (Yeah, I know that was a plug to a previous article of mine). But I don’t have Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria all the time. Just when I am the one in charge of organizing something, and at times looking for work. I have been discouraged whenever I have to look for a job. But I guess that being a professional Job Hopper, I am used to it. Plus, I know that we are living in a pandemic, and I am not the only one who has been unemployed for more than six months.

Otherwise, RSD depends on the person with ADHD and their experience. So, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria is real, and it does suck!
