Experiencing rejection, criticism, and exclusion a lot growing up, like many neurodivergent people do, can teach us to always be on the look out for possible rejection.

Sometimes, this can lead us to finding rejection where there actually isn't any

Remember: If no one says that you've done anything wrong (especially if you've asked directly), you are allowed to assume that you haven't done anything wrong.

It isn't easy, but accepting that, can reduce the sting of rejection sensitivity
