Am I the only one who gets their rejection sensitive dysphoria activated when a post you really care about doesn’t get many notes?
(it’s going to be really ironic if this is one of those 🙃😅)

When someone gives the advice of “don’t be afraid to disappoint your parents” they don’t just mean taking music theory in college or starting a YouTube channel.
It also means wearing things they might not approve of. Using accommodations that they might not think you need. Not falling for their guilt trips. Eating when you’re hungry, not when it suits them and their idea of your weight or health. Making your own friends instead of seeking the stamp of approval from them.
Of course, some parents are stricter than others, and some use abuse to keep you from expressing yourself. But do what you can, even if it seems small.
Otherwise, when your parents are no longer in the picture, you’ll try to find it somewhere else to get validation. A strict boss, an abusive partner, a selfish friend.
Going against your parent’s wishes is developmentally healthy. Not doing so stunts your independence and self-regulation. You shouldn’t be living to constantly please others, even the people who love you.

what rsd looks like: someone breaking down at any constructive criticism they're given. they can't take anything without turning into a sobbing mess.
what rsd feels like: IM SUCH A HORRIBLE PERSON IM MORALLY FLAWED AND AN EMBARRASMENT TO EVERYONE AROUND ME I SHOULD JUST DIE

Childhood trauma means...
having somebody reject you or
having somebody be too nice to you
are both equally stressful and overwhelming.

Just a reminder because I know I needed it
Your friends don't hate you!!!!!
They don't hate you, their not ignoring you, they don't secretly wish you'd fall off the face of the earth
Their probably just busy, they've got work or therapy or family stuff
They might be in a really strong hyper fixation, or got caught up in a special interest
Their not wishing you'd stop existing, or mad at you, they don't think you're evil and horrible
They just forget to reach out sometimes, maybe they also feel like you might hate them
Maybe their having a flare up, or going through an episode, or dealing with a hundred other things
But they do Not hate you
I don't hate you
Take a shower, eat some food, maybe drink some water, maybe take a nap
Open a window, take a walk, go for a drive
If you're feeling really brave?
Text them, call them, send a voice message
I believe in you, I believe in us

RSD can show up as...
Second guessing yourself, or people pleasing at your expense
Frequently asking, "Are you mad at me?"
Heavily focusing on perceived rejection or checking for rejection
Cutting off friends, family and peers to avoid rejection
Swinging between heightened emotion to emotional numbness
Reframing Autism

Okay, another day!
Not today RSD, fuck you!
Failure to understand a concept despite my best efforts is NOT going to ruin another entire day by making me feel like a stupid waste of flesh and resources that's incapable of learning basic concepts NO SIR-REEBOB
I will make cookies instead of learning a new skill just to prove I am capable of literally something, do you hear me motherfucker I have butter and I am not afraid to use it, do not try me today

I want a love, where they stay. I’m not asking for them to fix me, or pick up after me.
I want a love where I can never be to much by being just..me.

How come I just heard about Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria(RSD) two months ago? It describes why I feel the way I do when people have the slightest hints of disappointment in me, or just thoughts around disappointing others and being rejected in general.
It’s such an intense emotional pain that is an indescribable feeling because of how intense it is, and I was called “dramatic” as a kid/young adolescent because I would burst into tears every time I could hear or see the disappointment or rejection directed towards me.
I learned to “toughen up”, which means I hid it from the outside and still felt that intense emotional pain internally. The reason I’m making this post is because a friend of mine was getting nasty comments on a video they made talking about RSD. I won’t get into detail about the comment that was made, but I’m going to say this:
Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria is different from normal rejection sensitivity.
Not everyone experiences an intense emotional pain when rejected or when someone is disappointed. Just thinking about disappointment or rejection from someone can send me into a spiral of negative emotions directed towards myself for “not being good enough” or that “I’m totally going to fail because *blank* said I would”.
The Cleveland Clinic wrote a very good summary of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, and I encourage you to read it because it is very organized and detailed.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

If you are under 18 and live in the UK I have some important information: in some areas you can refer yourself to CAMHS with an online form.
Just posting this on here because I only just found out recently and I wish I'd known sooner. CAMHS isn't the most amazing service in the world but it's worth a shot. There are options (at least in the form I filled out) so CAMHS won't even tell your parents you referred yourself (this probably won't apply for Sui and SH though) but it is an option. Please rb to let people know this is a thing
