Are you good at identifying emotions/feelings within yourself?

I can totally relate, I have alexithymia and that is mainly around emotional experiences and problems, you might want to check it out.

I hate the question how do you feel as almost all of the time I feel neutral and the only times I don’t feel neutral is when I’m horrifically depressed or ecstatic. I use music to try and trigger emotions and get a mental response to what I’m seeing.

For example I watched someone die and I was quite interested in what was happening but felt no emotion at all.

Whereas I was more emotionally affected when I saw Gotham wasn’t renewing for a 6th season.

My emotional responses are often unpredictable which makes me a difficult person to understand or predict. I find it difficult to understand other people’s emotions and can never give advice or emotional comfort.

I can never know what words to describe how I’m feeling and when I don’t feel anything I often have to put on certain emotions.

I can tell if I’m anxious as that happens a lot and when I’m annoyed but that’s mostly it.

Hi Will Young! (I won’t do my usual habit of just putting an initial for your second name!) Sorry. I can be skitty, no offence meant. I agree with you that it is I important to be you as far as you can, without causing harm to others of course. I too use music to bring out my background emotions. I think they are already there, but music brings them to a more recognisable place. 

Again I can be skitty if someone asks me how I feel and if I am perplexed and cannot find the words I might just quip “With my fingers!” 

Next question might be “How do you see yourself?”

Answer “In a mirror. “ 

I do know what they are actually asking these days, but it’s difficult to respond with language/body language they understand. 

Same, I can totally relate with the skitty comments like when someone asks me how to do something like cook a nice meal or make a nice cake. I’ll just say put put it in the oven and take it out so it doesn’t burn. 

People get annoyed with me when I do it as I can’t explain stuff properly and I often take their question literally.

Most people get freaked out by what I talk about because it doesn’t phase me but it does them. Like the Second World War or murders and how to get away with one.

People tell me to talk about things with people and then when I do they criticise the topics in the conversation. NT’s are so annoying sometimes. 

Liverpool has to do anything possible to try to win the game and it shows that little things can do a lot 

The ball boys actually had special training before hand on the instructions of Jurgen Klopp to ensure they gave the ball back as quickly as possible to the Liverpool players. Eg they always have a spare ball in their hands and are strategically placed near the corner flags rather than collect the ball that has gone out of play.

Aha - that explains it :-)

There are ball boys and they are employed by a team and only work at that stadium but all the ball boy would have done is just done his job properly and not time waste.

The reasons Football is important to me is that I love the sport as it’s fun, gives exercise and helps get any fire inside you out.

Supporting a team for me is just probably the community and the feeling of having something in common to talk about because I’m very different to most people.

I support Arsenal because I’m from London, not north London but east London is close enough. East London is riddled with poverty and grit. It’s a bit like south London just the white mans version.

Yep. All I know about last night is that someone scored a goal and a lot of people got very excited over it. The thing that I'm a little interested in is that I heard that the goal was helped by a quick-thinking "ball boy" & I thought "ball persons" were limited to tennis? But also, shouldn't a ball person be neutral and not help a specific team?

I may have got those facts totally wrong as I only heard about the goal on the news and my wife told me the thing about the ball boy.
