Description

Hands up if you’ve ever apologised for your tone in a three-line email. 
Or assumed a stranger’s silence meant they hate you. 
Or spiralled for hours over a “no.” 

Yep, us too. 

In this episode of Neurotypicals Don’t Juggle Chainsaws, Kate and Nic dig into rejection sensitivity: the life experiences that wire us for it, why it shows up so strongly in neurodivergent folks and what helps. 

If you’ve ever thought “it’s not about you”… but still felt like it was: this one’s for you.
