@_lauriefaulkner_: Having a brain that reacts to small details like this in every conversation is exhausting 😩#creatorsearchinsights #adhdinwomen #adhdtiktok #adhdcheck #adhdawareness #adhdprobs #adhdtok #adhdrsd #adhdrejectionsensitivity #rejectionsensitivedysphoria #adhd Credit to the amazing @Olivia Lutfallah for the content idea 🤗
But let’s be honest, “come if you want” = “I’m only asking to be polite and I actually don’t want you to come” AuDHD here and I think we’re aware enough to know when someone doesn’t want us there.

I had no idea that RSD is why I absolutely can't stand "if you want to"

“If you want…” always makes me feel like ‘they’re only inviting me to be polite or feel like they’re friendship obligated to do so’ and it’s not genuine

Every Good Story Needs A Sam :
unless I get an explicit invite I'm not going. "come if you want" implies they don't want me there and are begrudgingly asking me.

I have AuDHD and RSD and “you can come if you want” would be them saying ‘if you come, it’s because you want to, not because I want you to’

ADHD here. If I wasn’t involved/invited in the planing of said “fun” then I wasn’t ment to go with. Nothing personal just how I deal with RSD.

Them making the plans already without asking me, is enough for me to feel so bad about myself and feel so unwanted 🤣

Me "unless every person involved in these plans confirms that they don't mind me joining, I will feel like I am intruding."

alex :
'You can come if you want' sounds like the person is being polite by extending the invitation but they really don't want me to come.

I think RSD is the worst part of having ADHD! It’s so difficult for other people to understand. 😢♥️

ADHD or not, I wouldn't want to be half assed invited when plans for two were already made. If I'm not important enough to invite I shouldn't go. Imho

‘We already made plans and bought tickets’ is where i would feel rejected. Didnt invite me or buy me a ticket but invited when i found out about it.

Didn’t even think “if you want” wasn’t a “we’d love you to come”. If they didn’t want me they wouldn’t say come along

RSD isn’t about overreacting. It’s linked to emotional dysregulation that occurs in ADHD. The brain triggers a fight and flight reaction. It’s better to learn to reframe the thoughts yourself

The difference between "I want you there" and "You can come if you want" is massive. It shouldn't be hard for anyone to understand and accommodate.
