For many years now I know that I react "allergic" against perceived rejections. While I have worked on myself to not perceive everything as rejection at work, I wasn't able to do so on a private level.
Knowing this, I followed a link to the article Rejection Sensitivity on psychologytoday.com.
What I didn't know was that there is a proposal "that especially high levels of rejection sensitivity be classified as rejection sensitive dysphoria or RSD" as it is not in the DSM:
RSD has not been recognized by the DSM, an the concept itself has not yet been widely studied nor given validated diagnostic guidelines. Still, it has gained attention in recent years, most notably among adults with ADHD or borderline personality.
I am glad, I don't find myself in the Signs of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria but thought I share this interesting article nevertheless.
