Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria is way more common than you think. Men have historically suffered from RSD, but due to the paradigm shift caused by the movement of men going their own way, you may find that women are now more commonly affected than they were previously.
But what exactly is RSD? And more importantly, what is the cause of it?
First of all, the word dysphoria implies an altered state of reality, almost like a delusion of sorts. So then rejection sensitivity dysphoria is a mental disease where the sufferer is sensitive to any form of rejection, real or perceived. The dysphoric aspect of RSD comes into play when you consider that the rejection in question is often more perceived than real.
The most common example of this is that a man might see a girl he likes and thinks he doesn’t have a shot with her because she is way out of his league. And how she can get any man in the world, so why him.
Meanwhile, the girl is probably thinking, “why is he acting so shy? Why won’t he come over and say hi?” As a sidebar, did you know that exceptionally beautiful women tend to be the loneliest?
It’s true! People think they get laid left and right. But in reality, men see them and end up rejecting themselves without knowing her intentions because they are often intimidated by her beauty, class and elegance.
Then she gets lonely and insecure, and ends up picking some douchebag who beats the shit out of her. How’s that for RSD?
The hot, mean girl trope in popular culture doesn’t exactly help matters much either. When in reality, it’s the pretty little normies who are mean and insecure, not Queen Aphrodite.
It doesn’t even make sense for her to be mean, it would only ruin her beauty. The trouble is that Aphrodite is an exceptionally rare form of feminine beauty.
Ok, so now that I’ve gone over some real world examples of RSD, let’s discuss the main cause of it.
Confirmation bias is a double-edged sword that can either make or break you. Positive reinforcement will encourage confidence, while negative reinforcement actually punishes the first sign of it.
So you know how incels always complain that “Chad” easily gets laid? Well it’s not necessarily because Chad is a stunner. It’s because he had a lot of positive reinforcement in his upbringing, and throughout much of his life.
The incel on the other hand, had a lot of negative reinforcements throughout life. A lot of L’s. A lot of setbacks. All of his hopes and endeavors, noble as they are, were literally made to feel like some kind of absurd, dark comedy while the whole world passes him by.
That’s not hard to imagine in a world that rewards evil and punishes creativity and authenticity. That kind of loneliness can really torture a man’s mind. So they develop a sensitivity to rejection, coupled with dysphoria.
This is something that plays out over time. And as such, they end up rejecting others before others have a chance to reject them. That way, they feel more in control of their experiences.
In last week’s article, we talked about the different forms of addiction. One particular example was the lust for power due to feelings of neglect or the general lack of safety in one’s background. Well proactive rejection perpetuated by sufferers of RSD is but one example of that power lust.
The incel may internalize his negative reinforcements as being due to his lack of height, or the way his face looks. But in reality, it really could be due to neurodiversion.
Having mental conditions such as; OCD, ADHD, or being on the autism spectrum could increase the likelihood of developing RSD at some point. But if you asked me, I would say it’s because the incel didn’t reject his true self in order to conform to the normie script.
As such, incels often go deeper into nihilism and loneliness, where they develop unhealthy coping habits, such as porn addiction and the like. They may also form online hate groups where they vent their frustration in the form of racism and misogyny.
None of these habits are healthy. The thing to do is to seek counseling. It will help you to further explore the root cause of your inceldom, as well as your RSD, on a path towards leading a healthier lifestyle. In time, you may even regain the confidence to start dating again.
