@whitequark RSD is a friend of my ADHD. My therapist told me that you can use same rule as with an anxiety: it’s okay to be hurt sometimes with a clear reason why. Like if you made an effort to make a present for someone and they instead of being happy where rude or angry at you. but if it constantly hurts, especially if you are feeling guilty of person being upset on you, it’s not normal and it’s an disorder. in many cases it caused by parents giving no shit about your emotions in early childhood. Who would have thought that right
