Title: Hypersensitive to rejection / Embarrassing Post by: stoic83 on February 17, 2013, 10:34:28 AM Hey guys, I'm hypersensitive to rejection right now... . from friends, family, business partners, people on here... . it's like I'm seeing insult and rejection when there isn't any. Why do you think this is? I may have been looking for rejection from exwBPD when painted black... . she tried to keep it together, and I could really feel her anger though she was trying to suppress it. I would be hypersensitive to rejection during this time, and it would be a vicious cycle... . of me mustering up the strength to try and break through her splitting with some love and getting twisted all over the place... .
In any case I am making a fool out of myself with friends, business partners, and women... . if they say something that hurts my feelings or reminds me of an experience wBPD I definitely react emotionally. I am going to work on some DBT stuff... . things are definitely getting better, but this is pretty embarrassing and I wanted to know if anybody could relate to this... . I think a lot of it is just projective identification... . I got so used to the awful things she would tell me... .

I was very sensitive also - it helps with time and really to challenge my own thinking when this occurred. This was a dbt skill - glad you are looking into them. Keep working on rebuilding your self - positive affirmations do wonders also. |
