A healthy coping strategy for rejection sensitivity

This one's for my fellow neurodivergents with rejection sensitivity who have a really hard time dealing with judgment.

Several years ago, I read a book called The Four Agreements. It changed my life. Here's what I learned and what I think might help you too...

Agreement 1: If I am always "impeccable with my word," (speak with integrity, use my voice to spread love and support) there is very little a person can say or do to undermine what I say/what I've said.

Agreement 2: I should never take things personally because no matter how much someone's judgment might appear to be about me, it's really about them (usually having to do with their own insecurities).

Agreement 3: I shouldn't make assumptions because my assumptions can easily be wrong. Sometimes what I think is judgment, isn't actually judgment and it just takes a respectful conversation to figure that out.

Agreement 4: If I always do my best and I KNOW I've done my best, no amount of judgment can make me feel like what I've done wasn't enough.

I have to say, my heart has been so much lighter since I read this book... and I'm not exaggerating when I say it changed my life. 

I really can't recommend it enough.
