I’m curious because I noticed the medication I’m currently on helps me emotionally regulate myself but doesn’t prevent me from thinking about how it still sucks.
I’m trying my damndest to reframe how I think about things. God is it hard though 😮💨

Yeah rejection sensitivity gets me and it fucking sucks. I never consciously came up with a strategy against it, but I think I kinda developed one organically: 1) know it for what it is and give it space, like /u/odmroz said, 2) think about the rejection logically to see how real it even is, and how bad, and if I deserved it, and 3) remind myself that people’s perception of you changes over time to match how you currently come across, so it’s not the end of the world if you come across poorly on some occasion.
At least to me, it seems like the logical parts of me are clashing with the emotional parts of me, causing some sort of dissonance
I was doing a lil research and found that there’s still no scientific consensus on “rejection sensitivity” but the fact that it’s at least familiar to suspected ADHDers (and those officially diagnosed) tells me that there’s something there
