In Why Does Everybody Hate Me?, Alex Partridge explores the intense fear of rejection that many people with ADHD experience, known as rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD). Drawing from his own life, he shares how overthinking, people-pleasing, and emotional sensitivity shaped his relationships, career, and mental health. Blending personal stories with expert insight, the book offers practical advice to help readers build confidence, set boundaries, and better understand their emotions--reminding them they're not "too sensitive," just wired differently.--
