“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 imagine an individual with RSD's worse fear being an "akiosexual"

https://mogai.fandom.com/wiki/Akiosexual

Akiosexual (also called akionesexual and lithsexual) refers to a person who experiences sexual attraction, but has their feelings fade if reciprocated. Akiosexual can also be defined as someone who doesn't care or want their feelings reciprocated. Lithsexual isn't commonly used due to concerns of appropriation of lesbian culture.

the crazy bitches even have a flag, lmao
