A highly sensitive turtle

Like a turtle, you are highly sensitive to your world around you and so you retreat into your shell where you are safe and unchallenged. Your mood can swing from happy one moment to sad, hopeless or furious the next. You feel great when you ar productive and your work is well received. But your mood swings downward quickly the minute you experience any negative feedback. You feel criticism, failure and rejection sometimes so intensely it can feel like physical pain. Because this experience is so painful, you try to avoid it at all costs. You stay away from challenge, you procrastinate difficult projects and you may avoid social situations for fear that you might be rejected. You have probably been told that you are "sensitive" and criticized for it.

Your sensitivity to rejection is real. You did not create it and you are not making it up. But there are ways to make it more tolerable and to feel more stable and balanced. Check out this article for more information on rejection sensitivity as well as proven strategies that can put you on a more even keel.

I'm so tired of giving myself a new diagnosis every week instead of a solution but RSD fits me very well.

Pretty sure she's gone (as in left the site, I know nothing of ctb although her deadline is coming up) so I'm also assuming my gag order is lifted.

She wouldn't respond to a quiz I posted.

Her results would probably be in the middle. She'd say yes to the strong emotional responses but no to the fearing of rejection. The latter would be her lying to herself. I'll leave it at that.

Rejection is tough for you. It stings. It feels true and it sometimes strikes you at the core. But you are usually able to come back from it with some effort. You work really hard to fight the fear and paralysis that can keep your feet rooted to the spot when a new challenge comes your way. But, you find yourself hiding at times, turning away from things that may be hard, and not challenging yourself when you could. You are sometimes able to talk yourself through it, though. And that talking through? That's the good stuff. There will always be challenges, there will always be struggle but the more you talk yourself through that struggle the stronger you will feel and the more resilient you will become.

This is not me at all, its very hard for me to get over rejection as I often see that as a sign someone hates me and failure just makes me feel worse as that another mistake I have made and so don't really fight my fears that much.

You don't like rejection but you aren't going to make it send you running to the hills. You may doubt yourself at times and fear failure but you talk yourself through it and keep working. Other people's criticism stings but you are able to take that criticism and use it to move you in the direction you need to go. Sometimes your mood takes a hit when you are faced with failure or rejection. But you don't stay down long. Overall, you are doing a great job at talking yourself through the struggles you face and moving forward in spite of the discomfort. Great work!


pretty accurate. i think i have stellar emotional control.

I got this one too but I feel like for me it depends on what kind of rejections I receive. I really don't mind being rejected as a friend or acquaintance as much as I do for romantic rejection. The nice thing about me having such a low opinion of myself is that I can typically understand completely where people are coming from when rejecting me because I would absolutely reject me at every turn. Despite this though, romantic rejection still hurts far more severely than this result would indicate.

Interesting to think about different categories of rejection, but I definitely feel you on romance.

I guess I'm fine with rejection from people I don't care about - in fact I somewhat revel in it. I guess the issue is that I tend to like and care about people, making me more vulnerable.

I definitely admire people who can take rejection like it's nothing and continue unphased.

I got dis one too :D

I'd absolutely say rejection is not my issue. I just feel so much emotional apathy and lack actual connection to people, so anything anyone says just goes in one ear and out the next.

we are in the same boat... i don't really get particularly stung by rejection when it comes to friendships, but when it comes to being seen as incompetent or a failure by people, that shit hurts.

Got this too. I honestly can't tell how accurate it is though because of the paucity of social relationships in my life.
