Why Don't People Like Me?: What Is Perception Sensitivity Dysphoria?
In this vulnerable and thought-provoking episode, Jordan and Simon unpack perception sensitivity dysphoria – a lesser-known offshoot of rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) that plagues many neurodivergent individuals. They explore what it means to constantly feel scrutinised, misread, or even attacked just for existing authentically.
🎤 In this episode, you'll learn about:
- The psychological toll of going viral on Facebook
- Stimming in public and how unmasking changes everything
- Childhood trauma, gaslighting, and inherited shame
- Being neurodivergent in professional spaces (and constantly second-guessing yourself)
- The haunting experience of being “left on read” by someone you admire (ouch!)
Whether you’re late-diagnosed, masking daily, or trying to make peace with your need to stim in public, this episode will feel like a warm (and slightly chaotic) neurodivergent hug.
