One of the funniest things about enemies-to-lovers ships is how they’re almost always obsessed with each other. Like if a character actively chooses to interact with another character over and over again instead of simply ignoring them? Throw darts at it all you want, but you still printed out a picture of them to hang on your wall

There’s something that feels so inherently silly about rsd because it’s just so intense and so extreme and so often out of touch with reality. And I’m lucky in that I don’t have to deal with it as often as I used to and I can regulate a lot better, but when it does happen it’s that same horrible sensation in your chest and stomach that feels like the whole world is ending. But in reality you’re just responding to a mild instance of possible social rejection and it’s literally fine. Like it’s fine, it’s totally fine, there is no actual reason to feel like you’ve just been set on fire and rolled over a field of crushed glass. You are not dying actually. (If only you could get your brain and body to understand this)

And it’s doubly embarrassing because there’s often a sensation of like. Regressing in that moment. Of feeling like a little kid again. Usually because there’s so many key experiences with rejection that neurodivergent people have in childhood. Which is scary to experience in the moment, but also there’s still an inherent absurdity bc it’s like. That person who unfollowed you just now is not one of the girls who made fun of you in middle school. That wouldn’t make any sense. Everything’s okay I promise
