Rejection sensitivity usually come from attachment failure.
Attatchment failure happens when, as a child, you had needs that did not get met. We eventually find ways to meet those needs by unhealthy habits and self destructive behavior.
Some of those coping mechanisms are things like:
š£ļø Fear of other peopleās negative opinions
ā¤ļø Wanting everyone to love you
š· Feeling like everyone is judging your every move
š¤¬ Assuming everyone is angry
š Perfectionism
š Conflict avoidance
We can heal those attatchment wounds, but it takes time and effort. It takes being mindful about our negative coping and practicing something new! #mindfulcounselor #mentalhealthmatters #buikdingbetterbridgesbook ... See MoreSee Less
