Rejection sensitivity dysphoria

[Se****]

Does anyone have any experience of rejection sensitivity dysphoria either as being the person in the relationship who has it or being the partner of someone who has it?

I’ve recently come to realise that it’s highly likely something I have - I could reel off a list of why I think I have it but I won’t.

Looking for resources to help me understand myself a little better but also things I can share with my partner so they better understand it. Wholly appreciate that there’s going to need to be a lot of communication regarding the subject and my/their emotions and needs etc and that resources will be generic. Right now I’m simply looking for information,  understanding and to hear from anyone else who’s been affected by it in any way.

Thanks in advance.

Love,

X

The struggle is real! I have anxiety and am rejection sensitive. I have just been trying to stay present and use affirmations.. it definitely affects me and my dating.

Timing is key to anything in life and having patience is a virtue as lame as it sounds. You should listen to john Hartford’s song called Joseph’s Dream… “seems like all the good things come at once, yes they do”. Be patient and communicate the best you can and good things will happen

yeah its differ a little per person and also make sure you are being honest with your partner, also no matter how much the little demon talks just ignore him using music or setting a tasks, also note random crying for no reason may happen with sudden anger, also if you get a hollow feeling, fill it with happiness of your life together or cuddle something you shared together, and even if you feel like chopped liver and onions in the back of the fridge that no body wants to touch with a 10ft pole, and sometimes just cuddling with out word and music playing helps
