Your boss asked you for a chat, and you just knew you were going to be fired.

You didn't sleep all weekend... and you weren't fired.

Someone answered your message with a thumbs-up emoji, and you just knew they hated you.

So you stopped talking to them, they eventually stopped texting, and now you miss them like crazy.

Someone went for a bathroom break mid-film, and you just knew it's because they think your taste in films is terrible.

You were so upset you missed the rest of the film, and they left early.

Rejection is physically painful for you. Even the most minor criticism stings. And why wouldn't it? By the time you were 12, you'd received 20,000 negative messages about yourself, your brain and your unique ADHD way of living life.

20,000.

Alex Partridge knows how it feels to live with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), the state of emotional dysregulation experienced by almost everyone with ADHD. Throughout his journey from successful entrepreneur to neurodiversity campaigner and host of the hugely successful ADHD Chatter, Alex has been haunted by the fear of rejection, labelled 'over-sensitive', and fought constantly against the desire to people-please and protect himself from emotional harm.

In Why Does Everybody Hate Me?, Alex draws on his own experience of RSD and shares how it has coloured every aspect of his life, from his days as founder of global social media brands UniLad and LadBible to his adult relationships, mental health struggles and persistent imposter syndrome. Drawing on insights from some of the world's leading ADHD experts, he offers simple, practical steps to help you regain your boundaries, rebuild your confidence and strengthen your self-belief.

You are not 'too sensitive' - nor are you broken. You were always enough.
