@.dramaorchard: If you can't explain your feelings and just say I don't know, that's alexithymia, not coldness. #alexithymia #psychology #emotions #MentalHealth #emotionalhealth

I have alexithymia

Makrell :

No point in speaking about feelings. You get shut down the moment one tries to open up.

Mind Dynamics :

it's Alexithymia I think 😏

M4I :

Sometimes I cry w/o having a reason

KC_LenziWorld :

it's true, I have this. you just can't express yourself, you know what you want to say but then when it comes time to actually say it, you can't speak. you can't put the right words together, you rushed with so much energy and feeling, it's overwhelming.

im just autistic

dustyroadsghoste :

Talking about my feelings is like asking ur friend the name of a song by humming it for them. They might understand, but 80% of the time u get a weird look and silence.

Azrael :

What if they say “Nothing” instead of “idk”

I have this, I even write IDK in my journal often. Even if I was able to put my feelings into words nobody would understand either. Also that explains why I cried a lot when I was younger I could never express myself

Jen :

Ok, but your partner needs that communication. Do everything possible to figure it out for their sake.
