I have been reading about alexithymia lately. Does anyone here know that they have this, and if so I am interested to know how you describe your feelings. I'm asking because I tend to describe my feelings in terms of an analogy rather than saying what the feeling is e.g. - 'I feel like a deflated bouncy castle.' Would a person with alexithymia be unable to do this?
Thanks
There are online alexithymia tests (https://embrace-autism.com/online-alexithymia-questionnaire/#test). I took two, and although I did not think that I would score in the alexithymia range, I am apparently 'highly alexithymic'.
Thank you. I'll try a test
