a space to connect

Community, curiosity and connection.

curious?

be part of something great.

The mergingminds community brings curious minds together to share experiences, explore ideas and make connections. If you'd like to introduce yourself and tell us what you enjoy for five minutes, we'd love that. Community Zoom calls have dedicated time for listening and typing so everyone has a chance to participate. Meeting times and Zoom call links are shared via email. Reminders are sent via email too.   Our online meetings combine focused conversation and reflection with time to chat and get to know each another. Think of it as a coffee shop conversation, with just enough structure to give everyone a chance to take part.

November meet-up topic Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD)

Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD)

Learn about RSD, reflect on ways it can affect people and explore possible strategies.

RSD describes intense emotional responses to perceived rejection, criticism or failure, even when no rejection was intended.

Emotional intensity

Feelings of shame, sadness, anger or embarrassment can become overwhelming and difficult to manage.

Perceived rejection

A delayed reply, change in tone or casual remark may be interpreted as rejection, even when the intention is unclear.

People's reactions

Anticipating reactions that are not ideal can make it difficult to try new things, take risks or pursue opportunities.
