Managing Rejection Sensitivity (RSD)
You experience intense emotional pain from perceived criticism, rejection, or failure
Steps
- Learn to recognise RSD in the moment: sudden emotional flooding, shame spiral, urge to withdraw or lash out
- Name it: 'This is RSD. My brain is amplifying this signal. The feeling is real but the interpretation may not be'
- Create a 20-minute pause rule: don't respond to the perceived rejection for at least 20 minutes
- Write down what happened factually (not your interpretation). Then write what your RSD is telling you. Compare them
- Build a 'evidence folder' — screenshots, messages, and notes that remind you of times people valued you
What you need
A journal or notes app, willingness to pause before reacting
Why it works
RSD is a neurological response, not a choice. The emotional pain is real — but the interpretation (they hate me, I'm a failure, I should give up) is often distorted. Creating space between the feeling and the reaction allows your thinking brain to come back online.
Age guidance
Adults and older teens.
Real-world example
An adult with ADHD nearly quit their job after a colleague's offhand comment in a meeting. Using the 20-minute rule, they realised the comment wasn't even directed at them. They started keeping an 'evidence folder' of positive feedback and checked it during RSD spirals.
Troubleshooting
- RSD isn't something you 'fix' — you learn to ride the wave. Be patient with yourself
- If RSD is severely impacting your relationships or work, speak to a professional who understands ADHD
- Some people find medication helps reduce RSD intensity — this is worth discussing with your doctor
