Alexithymia is a personality trait derived from the Greek word that means “no words for emotions”. An individual with alexithymia is characterized by the inability to recognize/identify emotions, the inability to describe their own or others’ emotions, and having an externally oriented thinking style.

“Most days, I have nothing but emptiness; if I'm lucky, I'll have short bursts of shallow emotions. I also struggle with identifying and describing emotions.”
u/Deerstalker143
“The social challenges impact me the most, as it becomes difficult to communicate and interact with people that aren't familiar with alexithymia and aren't willing to learn.”
u/Antique2018
“Not understanding other people's feelings is the biggest challenge. It's hard to understand others to support them emotionally and be understood by others.”
