Do you struggle with rejection sensitive dysphoria?

This gentle self-check can help you notice whether perceived rejection, criticism, disappointment, or conflict tends to hit your nervous system especially hard.

Important: This is not a diagnosis or clinical assessment. Rejection sensitive dysphoria is commonly discussed in connection with ADHD and emotional sensitivity, but only a qualified mental health professional can help you understand what is happening for you.

Pause before interpreting. Ask, “What else could this mean?” before deciding someone is upset with you.

Name the body response. Try: “This feels like rejection alarm, not necessarily rejection proof.”

Repair gently. Use simple language like, “I noticed I felt hurt and wanted to check in.”
