”getting thicker skin” is great in theory but I think for some people “get better at handling your thin skin” is gonna be way more helpful advice. I have strong emotional reactions to criticism and they might never go away, but i can continue to try and handle each situation maturely and that’s the important part. Sometimes irrational feelings are chronic and living with them is better than trying to beat yourself up into not having them.

Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria is a recognized symptom of many neurodivergencies, and honestly sometimes it's just helpful for me to recognize that's what's happening. Like logically that person does not think terribly of me; I just am projecting my feelings about myself onto them. It's like knowing that your smoke alarm is wildly sensitive and goes off if you try to toast a slice of bread; the noise is still there and still annoying but you at least know that there's not a scarier cause than just your wiring malfunctioning again.
