EVERY SPOKEN WORD

    You're ginger with a big forehead. If someone ordered Prince Harry on Shein, you would turn up. [laughs] "Stop talking about ADHD. You're not a psychiatrist. Leave it to the professionals, mate." Fair enough. I've never claimed to be a psychiatrist, but I have interviewed 300 of them, so I know a fair bit about ADHD. "Stop saying 'mm' so much when your podcast guest is speaking." [laughs] Fair point. I do... I've, I've... trying to do that less, but what can I say? I'm very passionate about the topic. Very passionate about the topic. "Stop pathologizing normal human emotions in order to sell books. ADHD and RSD are not real, you posh plonker." [laughs] Wow, you sound like a doctor from the '90s, but your choice of insults is superb. We should bring back the word plonker. All of these comments would have floored me two years ago, back when I thought everyone hated me. But then I learnt about rejection sensitivity dysphoria and realized that most people with ADHD experience it. So I wrote this book to help other people get over the intense emotional pain when someone criticizes them. You can pre-order it now. And remember, despite what society has told you countless times, you're not too sensitive. You have rejection sensitivity dysphoria, and you have always been enough.
