“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

It's been like this for years and it's the cause of a plurality of societal dysfunction. My girlfriend's sister is a special ed teacher, and every kid who can't behave needs some diagnosis. Also, every kid has an IEP so the teacher has to teach a million different individual ways for each student. We're fricked bros the next generation is going to be illiterate, unable to follow basic societal decorum, and listens to songs like this

This songs kinda good tho
