People who struggle with rejection sensitivity expect to be dismissed or excluded; they perceive and overreact to the slightest snubs. Take this test to assess where you fall on the spectrum.
This test is for anyone who wants to explore the degree to which they are sensitive to rejection. It’s designed for adults and is not intended to be diagnostic.
If you regularly feel an acute sense of social rejection, seeking the help of a therapist can be beneficial. Find a professional near you in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory.
