Has anyone else noticed that they process emotions differently than neurotypicals seem to? I find that emotions take longer to sink in, my reactions are slow and delayed. This applies for good and bad things - I just don't feel things for a while, then it might hit me out of the blue - or not at all.
One of the things that I really dislike is being asked how I feel - cringe! I don't always know, so when someone asks I'm scrambling to figure it out quickly, or I just make something up that sounds plausible. ;)
Anyone else have similar experiences?
