The penny has just dropped after reading this article. RS has distroyed so many of my personal relationships over the years, I have just recently lost the love of my life and it is all down to this – we are both rejection sensitive. The power this has over me is frightening, I have hunted for months to find the answer to this voice in my head telling me to expect the worst. Now i know what it is I shall beat it!

I stumbled across a paper on RS in a psych journal and it was a real eye opener. RS contributed to my divorce and I almost destroyed a great relationship later because of it. Luckily, I kept reminding myself about it when I felt the RS reactions starting and modified my behaviour.

Funny though – an empty email inbox still makes me edgy.

Wow this is such an eye-opener for me to read – feels like the penny has finally dropped and suddenly I can see a pattern and a truth in all my past relationships. I used to feel this way about all relationships and interactions but as the years have gone by, I only experience this with the opposite sex (not limited to, but mostly with, romantic relationships). Now I can see why my “craziness” has never made sense to others but feels so real and debilitating to me.
But what I need to find out is how to cope with RS….

Fascinating,

This would explain a lot of my relationship issues. I’ve always been aware that I am a jealous type, but this article explains a lot. Guess, I’ll have to buckle down on my reactions.

It took me many years until I realized I have RS. It’s became less of an issue once I was aware of it, but I almost destroyed a great relationship because of it.

I still struggle with it at times, but I try to cope by either distracting myself or focusing on possible more positive reasons why my significant other is acting in what I perceive to be a rejecting manner.

Somebody wrote that sometimes an empty email inbox is only an empty email inbox.
