Why Does Everybody Hate Me? by Alex Partridge

Your boss asked you for a chat, and you just knew you were going to be fired
You didn’t sleep all weekend, and you weren’t fired

Someone answered your message with a thumbs-up emoji and you just knew they hated you.
So you stopped talking to them, they eventually stopped texting, and now you miss them like crazy

Someone went for a bathroom break mid-film, and you just knew it’s because they think your taste in films is terrible
You were so upset you missed the rest of the film, and they left early

Rejection is physically painful for you. Even the most minor criticism stings. And why wouldn’t it? By the time you were 12, you’d received 20,000 negative messages about yourself, your brain and your unique ADHD way of living life.

Alex Partridge knows how it feels to live with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), the state of emotional dysregulation experienced by almost everyone with ADHD. Throughout his journey from successful entrepreneur to neurodiversity campaigner and host of the hugely successful ADHD Chatter, Alex has been haunted by the fear of rejection, labelled ‘over-sensitive’, and fought constantly against the desire to people-please and protect himself from emotional harm.

In Why Does Everybody Hate Me? Alex draws on his own experience of RSD, and shares how it’s coloured every aspect of his life, from his days as founder of the global social media content brands UniLad and LadBible, to his adult relationships, his mental health struggles and his terrible imposter syndrome. He’ll use the insights he’s gained from the world’s top experts on ADHD to share with you some simple steps to regaining your boundaries, your confidence and your self-belief.

You are not ‘too sensitive’ – nor are you broken. You were always enough.

Who is this book for?

It is especially useful for readers with ADHD or rejection sensitivity who recognize how quickly everyday interactions can become emotionally painful.

It also suits people trying to understand people-pleasing, shame, imposter syndrome, and the fear of being disliked or abandoned.

Main themes of the book?

The book focuses on rejection sensitive dysphoria, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, shame, people-pleasing, boundaries, and self-worth.

It also explores social interpretation, criticism, confidence, relationships, and the practical work of calming emotional overreactions.

Why this book stands out from other psychology books?

Unlike general books about confidence, this one concentrates on the specific emotional mechanics of rejection sensitivity. It stands out by connecting those reactions to ADHD and by grounding the discussion in lived experience rather than generic reassurance.
