[ID: A screenshot titled "'Recognition Responsive Euphoria' or RRE". The ADHD brain is turned up to 11; our neurotransmitters burn bright. On an emotional level, this means we feel the stabbing pain of rejection, frustration, and failure more acutely than do others. On the flip side, we also experience a meaningful and powerful zing of energy and esteem with every word of encouragement, praise, or approval we receive. The smallest gesture can power euphoria—and great accomplishments—for us. End ID]

other peoples laughter is sweet as nectar and ambrosia... call that acceptance sensitive euphoria

#psa that rsd is not a prerequisite to adhd #although there is significant overlap #and im sure the same holds true for rre #which is probably stronger when rsd is involved #oops forgot to mention that rsd is rejection sensitivity dysphoria #yeah #it sucks also #walk away from a perfectly fine interaction feeling like i suck at life for the next few hours #or remember mistakes and regrets affecting others from years ago like yesterday #and also being fueled by “i cant hang out but i wanna” for days #or “your art looks so good”#adhd #neurodivergence #rejection sensitivity dysphoria #hate always going worst case scenario for no logical reason except “well it COULD be like that...” :(#when it comes to social interactions #recognition responsive euphoria
