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's a thread a few month ago that might be of interest: https://community.autism.org.uk/f/adults-on-the-autistic-spectrum/30898/emotion
Thank you for this x
