When rejection hits, it’s not “just emotions.”

Well, we don't just feel like it. Our emotions are so big. And we get stuck in that rejection sensitivity dysphoria. And I am actually going to talk about what that is first. It's a neurological and emotional response. So we, I think we have often have this wrong thinking that it's just an emotional response. It's not. It is a neurological response, which is why our emotions are so entrenched. I think it's a good word for it. We get so crunched from those emotions. Yeah. It's an intense, instant emotional pain triggered by real or perceived rejection, criticism, or failure. So, um, so the thing that I want you— let's talk about the neurobiological part of it. It's not about your character or, or the fact that you're too much or a drama queen or whatever I've heard. It's about your brain wiring. Your nervous system reacts, and then it increases cortisol. It decreases your dopamine. It increases your fight or flight. So it is survival response. Your brain is trying to protect you even from social danger.
