“Rejection sensitivity dysphoria” AKA are we just going to pathologize every single negative human experience now?

Not really drama so much as a term I heard recently when a girl said she had RSD. Having never encountered this word, I looked it up and seems like it's a term used to describe feeling extremely bad when rejected, except of course now it has a “diagnosis” type sounding label, and people with adhd say it's different for them, it's a disorder.

A picture from /r/adhdwomen for your edification:

Or course Redditors apply it to themselves like a girl scout collecting badges:

The funny thing is that a good way to frick with overly sensitive self-diagnosers is to deny RSD exists.

Edit: ithe D stands for dysphoria, not disorder lol

I feel like this is a disorder you can get over by just experiencing it a few times.
