But really, they're just...

busting their ass trying to feel and look normal.

So I've become obsessed with that.

Since my dad was sick, I mean, I was just like, what's happening?

Why am I so sensitive to certain things?

So rejection-sensitive dysphoria is the very, very real emotional, sometimes physical, pain that comes from real or perceived rejection or criticism.

So someone criticizes you or rejects you or you think that that's happening.

And all of a sudden, you can't stop thinking about it.

You're beating yourself up about it.

No one likes getting rejected.

That's not it.

I have told my husband, it is like someone sucked the air out of my lungs.

It feels that significant to me.

Rejection sensitive dysphoria.

I think it's so important to recognize and to know about because it's so hard for the person who's experiencing.

It's also so hard for the people around that person.

The relationships.

The tiptoe around them.

Oh, my God.

So when my husband and I get into fights, I'm so sensitive that if I know we're kind of beefing with each other, he'll look at me and I will just start crying and then I will chase him around the house and I'm like, and another thing, and another thing.
