Is there something in my genes that is making me feel more sensitive to rejection? Is it possible that I actually feel more hurt when I’m ghosted than other people… and that there is a biological basis?
My whole life I have cried more than my friends, gone mental on romantic partners who took too long to text me back, and generally felt like the world was a bag of knives just waiting to jab me at every turn. I then found out that one of my genes may be responsible for some of these feelings… so I tested myself.
Hi! Which genetic testing service did you use? I suspect t I might be a G carrier. I’m curious to learn more about strategies to build up tolerance to rejection as I have used exercise to combat depression and negative feelings most of my life.
Hi! I used 23AndMe. They do not sponsor this podcast or give me any funding, disclaimer. I use them because they give you access to a text file with all of your raw data (which other services sometimes don’t). Hope this is helpful!
I am so grateful for your article post. Thanks Again. Keep writing. Miof Mela Inger Nerland
