The Hidden Struggles of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) can feel like an invisible weight that’s always there, affecting how we handle rejection, criticism, and even the smallest perceived slights. In this episode, Robyn talks about her journey navigating RSD, sharing how this heightened emotional sensitivity shapes her self-esteem and how it has impacted her relationships throughout her life. Whether it’s the fear of a friend canceling plans, a harsh word from a boss, or simply not feeling "good enough," RSD can make even the most routine situations feel like personal failures. If you’ve ever felt like your emotions are too much to handle or that rejection cuts deeper than others seem to feel, this episode is for you.
