Redrawing Battle Lines — Rejection Sensitivity and ADHD

All those battles — with yourself, your brain, the people around you — cost something. Every skirmish is bandwidth that isn't going to what actually matters to you. And few battles drain the tank faster than rejection sensitivity. This week ADHD coach Cameron Gott takes on RSD directly, and upfront: this is not a popular take. He draws on his own history with rejection sensitivity to map the conditions that make it worse — overwhelm, lack of structure, imposter syndrome, a meaning-making machine running at full speed in the wrong direction. Individually, these are hard. Together, they compound in ways that aren't linear. One plus one plus one isn't three. It's eight. He also introduces a reframe worth sitting with: what context is your rejection actually living inside? Fear? A need for acceptance? Isolation? When you can name the context, you stop floundering in the deep end and start looking upstream. A heads up — this one may hit close to home.
