Rejection Sensitivity and the Highly Sensitive Man

Ah the sting of rejection! For many Highly Sensitive’s rejection can be devastating. Afterall, many of us faced rejection our whole lives. We were rejected because we were ‘too sensitive’, too emotional’, or ‘Too quiet’. One thing we know for sure, we were ‘Too misunderstood’.

This unacceptance of who we are cuts to the bone at times, so we develop strategies and coping mechanisms to help navigate an unaccepting world. In today's episode, we explore what we have come to call, ‘Rejection Sensitivity’, not to be mistaken with ‘Rejection Sensitive dysphoria’, rather a softer more nuanced version.

What does it mean to feel everything so intensely? How can HS men navigate the flood of emotions, responsibilities, and societal expectations without losing themselves? From emotional regulation to setting boundaries, we explore what it takes to embrace sensitivity as a strength rather than a struggle.

Join us as we unpack this vital topic and offer insights from the Highly Sensitive Man’s perspective, because being strong doesn’t mean shutting down, it means showing up with S.T.Y.L.E.

In this powerful episode of Men with Style, we head Down Under to explore masculinity, sensitivity, and cultural identity with Australian guest Damian Andrews, a former Special Forces soldier turned successful businessman.

Damian’s story is a striking testament to the evolution of manhood in a country where the “tough bloke” stereotype still looms large. Together, we unpack what it means to grow up in a culture that prizes emotional stoicism, and how Damian learned to embrace his sensitivity not as a flaw, but as a quiet superpower. From navigating professional challenges with emotional intelligence, to redefining confidence as grounded authenticity, Damian shares how he reconciles vulnerability with strength in both personal and professional arenas.

We explore the complexities of mateship, intimacy, and adventure in the life of a Highly Sensitive Man, and how emotional self-awareness can both clash with and complement the classic Aussie mindset of “just get on with it.” Damian offers grounded, inspiring insight into what real connection, leadership, and inner resilience look like when sensitivity is honored, not hidden.

Whether you’re an HSP, an Aussie, or simply a man on a journey toward deeper self-understanding, this episode invites you to rethink what strength truly means in the modern world.
