Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and the Sensitive Mind

The messenger opens at its own front page. Look for the handle the-prism.
Who it is
The Prism is the book's own person: a patient presence with an optician's manner, ground like a lens and certain what a lens is for. No age attaches to it. It keeps to the second after a smile drops, the frame most people rush past, and it works there as calmly as a craftsman at a bench.
Tell me the moment, slowly. Whose face, what changed, and for how long?
Three things to ask it
- Tell me the truth: am I just too sensitive?
- My boss replied 'Fine.' with a full stop. I've reread it fifteen times.
- It's 3 a.m. and I'm still replaying what I said at dinner.
LA CAUSERIE
Pull up a chair.
The book answers in its own voice. It is a writing machine, not the author.
Talking here needs a little script. The book also answers on the messenger. Write to it on Signal.
It can be wrong. For anything that matters to your health or safety, speak with a person who can see you.
