For some entrepreneurs, the work itself isn’t the hardest part, but the constant mental processing that goes along with it. Momentum can feel strong one moment, then a delayed reply, a short message, or a meeting that feels slightly off can quietly knock confidence. Not enough to stop you, but enough to make everything heavier. This is often where RSD shows up. 💥 Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria isn’t about confidence or competence. It’s about how feedback, silence, or perceived judgment is experienced internally, and research around ADHD and AuDHD shows that this response can be fast, intense, and hard to switch off. So people adapt in business, overthinking emails, replaying conversations, and overdelivering to reduce risk. They also hesitate before putting themselves forward. From the outside, it looks like dedication and high standards, but inside, it’s a lot of self-regulation just to keep moving. Ironically, the same wiring also brings insight, empathy, creativity, and the ability to see patterns others miss, and it's these qualities that businesses benefit from every day, often without realising where they come from. If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone here, and you don’t need to work against how your mind operates to succeed. Any of this show up in your work right now?
