After The Brew: RSD, Work Friendships & The Pain Nobody Talks About

from Afternoon Coffee Break with Darren Watts · host Darren Watts

Darren follows up on last week's call off and gets into the real reason behind it — a one-sided work friendship that triggered Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. He breaks down what RSD actually is, how it connects to ADHD, and why the pain of unreciprocated connection is backed by real research. Gallup says only 2 in 10 U.S. workers have a best friend at work. Darren is living that stat right now.After The Brew, Darren Watts, Afternoon Coffee Break, rejection sensitive dysphoria, RSD, ADHD, work friendships, Gallup, best friend at work, task paralysis, depression, brain fog, neurodivergent, emotional dysregulation, Dr. William Dodson, workplace connection, calling off work, mental health, Black podcast, real talk,
