Do you feel criticism more intensely than others? Take the free RSD screening to understand your rejection sensitivity patterns and what they might mean.
Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is an extreme emotional sensitivity to being criticised, rejected, or feeling that you've fallen short of expectations. It's not ordinary hurt feelings -- it's an intense, sometimes overwhelming emotional response that can feel physical. Research suggests RSD affects up to 99% of people with ADHD, yet it's rarely assessed or discussed.
If you've ever replayed a conversation for hours, felt devastated by a mildly critical comment, avoided opportunities because of what might go wrong, or worked yourself to exhaustion trying to be perfect so nobody can criticise you -- RSD might be a factor. Many people with RSD develop sophisticated masking strategies that hide their sensitivity from others, but at significant personal cost.
