And then we're on our own again.
And because we feel like, you know, we're probably different anyway because we don't know we've got ADHD or autism at the time.
To be pushed out would be even worse.
So I do think it heightens that sense of responsibility because...
especially if you're abused as a child, but even as an adult, if you're raped as an adult, you go through, which at 17, I guess I was more towards the adult end of my life, but you go through all of the things that you did that created the problem.
It's just a natural response.

Was it because of how I behaved?
And so you're constantly second-guessing yourself.
And with rejection sensitivity, anyone that's had it, it is just an overwhelming physical response in the body.
It feels like a sucker punch.
It feels like this emotional fire.

And I feel like that's what RSD is.
You're constantly like the burnt toast instead of the fire, but the alarm's going off anyway.
And you're going, you're flooded completely with this sense of, I've got to fix this.
I've got to make this right.
And it's panic.
