Then came the rejection sensitivity. Then the jealousy. And before I knew it, I was finding ALL kinds of reasons to be annoyed with the entire event.But after talking to people who actually attended, something shifted.In this episode, I'm taking you through my very real (and slightly embarrassing) emotional roller coaster surrounding Paris Hilton's ADHD Summit. We're talking about FOMO, rejection sensitivity, jealousy, and what happens when our hurt feelings turn into criticism of other people.I'm also sharing my thoughts on the lack of diversity at the event, the whole "ADHD is a superpower" conversation, and why having privilege doesn't make someone immune to rejection.Because here's the thing: We can offer constructive criticism without forgetting that the person on the receiving end is still human.And sometimes, the hardest part is admitting that we're just hurt because we weren't invited.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
