Abstract in brief

Rejection sensitivity is a personality trait where individuals are overly sensitive to feelings of social rejection.
A meta-analysis of 75 studies revealed strong links between rejection sensitivity and various mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, loneliness, borderline personality disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder.
The findings suggest that while the connection between rejection sensitivity and mental health can differ based on sample types, they remain consistent over time and highlight the need for targeted mental health interventions.
