Individuals with Alexithymia

The cause of alexithymia is an emotional learning disorder or a neurological disorder. They’re people incapable of understanding their own emotional states (and other people’s). They find it extremely difficult to pinpoint exactly how they’re feeling at the moment.

They do love and experience happiness, fear, longing, anguish, and hope. They do have emotions, they experience them in a distorted way and are unable to express them as a consequence.
