Well done, Ali. This is thoughtful and helpful writing. When I learned about Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) being a feature of being ADHD, I understood so much. When I did something that bothered another person, they'd point this out. I would forget the subject and think, "I am being attacked. This is personal." Not necessarily.
Thank you for sharing this Tom, it sounds like once you learned about RSD and how it manifests you could recognise this in yourself? It really helps to recognise that things aren't personal doesn't it.
