84. How to navigate rejection sensitivity and playing-it-safe behaviors

Do you find yourself anxiously anticipating rejection in everyday situations?


The fear of being rejected or judged leads to a hyper-awareness of others' facial expressions, opinions, or anticipation of rejection. It’s like you’re expecting others will reject you and interpret a situation using those lenses. This interplay between rejection sensitivity and anxiety influences how you navigate your relationships.


Understanding the root of rejection sensitivity and its connection to anxiety is pivotal to stop playing-it-safe automatically.


In today’s episode, I interview Ozlem Ayduk, Ph.D.


We delve deeper into the psychological processes behind rejection sensitivity and anxiety. You will hear practical strategies to break free from the shackles of rejection sensitivity and anxiety.


Key Takeaways


  • Self-distancing
  • Rejection sensitivity
  • What maintains rejection sensitivity
  • The relationship between experiential avoidance and rejection sensitivity
  • How ambiguous situations are triggers for responses driven by rejection sensitivity
  • The use of self-talk 
  • Is it helpful to be highly sensitive in certain contexts? When and where? 
  • The upsides or benefits of high emotional sensitivity
  • Can someone struggle with rejection sensitivity without a history of rejection? 
  • The intersection of emotion regulation and rejection sensitivity
  • Is rejection sensitivity dysphoria different or the same as rejection sensitivity?
