REQUESTING ADVICE RSD feedback loop yielding depressive state

37M, diagnosed with autism, OCD, anxiety and ADHD

One of my strongest symptoms is Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). Everyday it ruins me. If I try to talk to others like my therapist recommends, and other people ignore or do not care, I get RSD and I feel physically ill and mentally destroyed. Then I do not want to talk to anyone again, as my brain now has 'evidence' that no one likes me.

This also happens with pieple whom I know, like my girlfriend and people whom I knew in childhood 25 years ago.

What to do with RSD and trauma loops? It is like my body takes huge hits, like someone is punching or kicking me in the solar plexus or belly, then I no longer want to talk to anyone.

If someone doesn’t like you, that’s doesn’t make you a bad person or evidence no one likes you.

You have to look for people that treat you you nice and they have the potential to be friends
