How do I manage RSD? My brain hears "this joke annoyed me", followed by a rant about it, and then an apology for blowing up on me, and I just.. haven't been able to get myself to say anything back. I know they don't hate me and my head wants me to (1/2)

Feel angry and pull away entirely and I know that shit is so toxic to think and I can't like.. I don't know what to do. I feel like my entire trust in the person was crushed in an instant even though it isn't that big of a deal,

it’s super hard but you have to train yourself to see their rejection as something that is more about THEM than you. especially in this instance, luckily they apologized because they were in the wrong. they were likely stressed tf out and took it out on you for that joke. but if they were more calm/happy they wouldn’t have reacted that way. it’s hard but remind yourself as much as possible
