RSD, often referred to as rejection sensitive dysphoria, is a severe emotional suffering that is brought on by the idea of being rejected by others. This results from the perception that one does not live up to others’ expectations of oneself. It almost seems as though we are engaged in a struggle with self-stigma brought on by low self-esteem. RSD is motivated by the idea that one is inadequate. RSD is also linked to ADHD and frequently the most crippling because it can manifest in all facets of our lives.
The following symptoms indicate that someone has Rejection Sensitivity Disorder.
- Constant validation: We are continually looking for confirmation from others that we are doing okay because we are constantly concerned that we are not living up to their expectations.
- Assume that no one likes us: We immediately begin to believe that no one likes us. This causes us to act in ways that could make a situation worse or make us look worse. We become more hurt by this rejection.
- Severe anxiety: We almost always expect to be rejected. Due to our persistent fear of being rejected by others, we experience intense anxiety and avoidance from them.
- Unrealistic expectations: We frequently have unreasonably high expectations for ourselves in an effort to meet the expectations of others at all times, which leaves us psychologically exhausted and furthers our frustration.
- Need to be liked: We need to hear that we are loved and liked all the time in order to assure ourselves that we are not being rejected.
- Having trouble controlling your emotions: We are unable to adjust at all when we experience sentiments of rejection and failure. Instead, we experience strong negative feelings for an extended period of time and are unable to control them.
- Relationship avoidance: Because we feel that the really us is unlikable, we avoid commitment in all forms, including romantic relationships.
- Presenting oneself as flawless: We think we have many imperfections, so we act like someone else to present ourselves as flawless.
