What is RSD?
Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is an intense emotional response to perceived or actual rejection, criticism, or failure. It is commonly experienced by neurodivergent people, particularly those with ADHD, and can feel overwhelming, sudden, and deeply personal. Even small interactions can trigger strong feelings of shame, anxiety, or distress, which can impact relationships, self-esteem, and overall wellbeing.
