Hot Take

RSD is actually PTSD.

People with ADHD are sensitive to rejection because we spend our entire lives being constantly rejected/excluded/ostracized by every neurotypical we meet. We’re traumatized, and we are triggered by rejection because it causes us to re-live our trauma.

I read some statistic somewhere that kids with ADHD are significantly more likely than neurotypicals to have zero friends for significant chunks of their childhood if not their entire childhoods. I know I had zero friends for most of elementary school. 7th grade was a particular horror. 

I think we’re doing the ADHD community a disservice by characterizing rejection sensitivity as something intrinsic to our brain chemistry. We should be looking at it as a consequence of our shared trauma from living in an abelist society.

“Yeah ADHD is totally just being hyper and distracted!” I say as I’m bawling my eyes out and curling up into a ball because someone slightly fussed at me.

I love having RSD. Random stuff feels like rejection for no reason even when I know it’s not. So much fun.

Anyone: Hey you’re being a little loud would you mind quieting down a bit?

What are the symptoms of ADHD besides hyperactivity? All I've been exposed to is stereotypes of what it's like to have ADHD and I want to learn more!

well here’s what it’s like for me

feeling like you need to Do Shit All The Time

like, literally every second

if you aren’t stimulated for even a second you’re incredibly bored

boredom is literally painful

it’s worse than death

worse than e v e r y t h i n g

feelin that sweet Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria™ any time you get teased or insulted

when you’re listening to music you always tune it out eventually

not picking up on social cues At All

actually, what are social cues?

can’t regulate attention

not interesting = not worth paying attention to

hyperfocus for hours

“wAIT ITS 4 PM WHAT THE F U C K”

did i forget to eat again

The Thoughts go from point a to point g in less than one (1) fuckin sentence

*someone says a thing* what *person repeats thing* what *person repeats thing again and you still don’t hear them but dont ask what again in case they think ur weird*

or, alternatively

*someone says a thing* what *person starts to repeat said thing; you reply less than a second after they start*

using subtitles all the time so you don’t have to go back twenty times to determine What The Fuck someone said

“sorry i tuned you out for that entire sentence can you repeat that”

needing e x t r e m e l y s p e c i f i c d i r e c t i o n s

EXTREMELY POOR VOLUME CONTROL TBH

tfw that thing u were working on falls apart and u cant redo it bc u already did it and that would be boring

long blocks of text are Extremely Hard to Read

ur fuckin brain works 12 times as fast as everyone elses. for every ADHD person it’s somethin different. for me it’s puns. ill choke on my own laughter at a pun an Entire Second before anyone else even gets it

RAMBLING

The Leg Bounce™

Disassociation

that ADHD feel when you

^^ that one is a True Marker of an ADHD person. only ADHD people understand.

schools mental help person: you just.. need to learn how to work with criticism....

me, a person who has Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and thus feels like every kind of criticism is an immediate attack on me as a person and who'll want to cry for 10 hours and never get out of bed anymore after someone says something Vaguely rude to me: aha..... okay pal! thank..!

RSD check

Your friends don't secretly hate you

You're not a bad person for things you did and said months or years ago that you now recognize as bad

You aren't cringe for being excited about things

You don't talk too much

If you feel sick from intrusive thoughts/rsd please sip on some water, get a blanket or plush to cuddle, put on some music or a video that makes you feel happy

You are loved <3
