Episode 7: Rejection Sensitivity: Why Everything Feels So Personal (AuDHD)

Have you ever replayed a conversation over and over in your head? Worried that someone was upset with you? Felt crushed by feedback that others seemed to move past quickly? In this episode of That AuDHD Teacher, I’m talking about rejection sensitivity, one of the experiences many ADHD and AuDHD people deeply relate to. Rejection sensitivity isn’t an official diagnosis, but it describes that intense emotional response when we feel criticised, rejected, misunderstood, excluded, or like we’ve disappointed someone. This episode is a reminder that feeling deeply does not mean you are too much. Sometimes understanding our brains helps us finally make sense of the things we have struggled with for years. That AuDHD Teacher is a podcast about late diagnosis, self understanding, neurodivergence, and learning to embrace the brain we have always had.
