Have you ever replayed a conversation over and over in your mind, convinced you said the wrong thing? Do delayed text messages leave you feeling anxious, rejected, or unwanted?

Why Does Everybody Hate Me?: Understanding Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, Building Emotional Resilience, and Creating Healthier Relationships is a compassionate and practical guide for anyone who feels trapped by the fear of rejection, criticism, disapproval, or abandonment.
