Why do so many gay men struggle with deep fears of rejection—whether in dating, friendships, or even at work? In this episode, we’re unpacking rejection sensitivity: where it comes from, how it shows up in everyday life, and why it can feel so intense for us.
Some of the topics we cover:
The early roots of rejection sensitivity (hint: it starts young)
How social norms, internalized homophobia, and shame wire us for hypervigilance
The impact of dating app culture and body-focused rejection
Signs you might be stuck in a rejection sensitivity loop
Practical ways to heal and build resilience
If you’ve ever felt crushed by criticism, avoided risks to protect yourself, or wrestled with feelings of “never enough,” this one’s for you.
