I don't know how to describe my past years, For last 4. 5 year I have lived with the hope that things may get better with time but they didn't, instead it seems like they are getting worse I cannot even remember any good memory that I might have created with anyone, all the good memories I have is me sitting alone in some place like cinema, restaurants or parks. I want to connect with people but I don't feel like I deserve it partly because of my own flaws and partly because of the look that everyone gives me whenever I'm around. All my friends (I'm not sure if I can call them friends) they just give me that look that make me feels like I shouldn't have the right to exist, and all other colleagues just ignores me, they don't even considers me worthy of their time. Maybe I'm exaggerating the situation, but I have been feeling it for a long period of time. I just wrote it to make myself feel good

Thank you for this video Psych2go! Im on vacation on a holiday park rn and I'm here for two days. My exams are over and i have a toxic narcissistic dad who says if i have a part time job I can never continue my studies and I can never become a lawyer. He interrupts me a lot, forces his views on me and blackmails me and I need advice. He doesn't live with me, but for religious reasons I can't cut off contact with him. I suffer from religious trauma aswell and constantly fear hell. Any advice Please help me. I'm on vacation to take a break and enjoy myself. Nothing is impossible and I dont have to listen to my dad. He doesn't live with us and isn't supporting us in any way so he has no say.

Talk about our emotions isn't easy. Building a relationship with someone who has alexithymia can be challenging, but with understanding and patience, it's definitely possible. Communicate clearly and directly, as they may struggle with non-verbal cues. Be patient and encourage them to express their emotions, even if it's difficult. Exploring alternative ways to express feelings, like writing or art, can also help.
Create a supportive and non-judgmental environment, and pay attention to their actions, which might be their way of showing love. Remember to set healthy boundaries and take care of yourself too.

For years I've been told that it seems like I don't care about anything and that that in itself is something I _should_ be ashamed of. A lot of my friends have severe emotional trauma, and it almost feels offensive when I can't cry along with them or _prove_ I can understand their feelings (Some of them envy me for looking so unfazed only because they've seen what I went through) Heck, I was with this really fun girl for about a week who happened to be going through a hard loss. Just guess how that one ended

I feel like I might have Alexithymia, as I mostly feel nothing and empty all of the time. My school nurse told me I might have autism and anxiety, possibly depression too and a few other people agreed. I don't understand my feelings most of the time and I am always unaware of what to do, so it always feels like an unpleasant rollercoaster full of thoughts that I won't even remember in the end.

Formally Diagnosed 2 years ago( on top of being broken )w Autism belated to 2000 when formally diagnosed w ADHD. But to me these LABELS are just names for what I’ve lived with forever. Nothing changed
R-E-A-L-L-Y. Nothing changed as medical professionals can’t /couldn’t help even though I changed psych 6 times.

I have no physical emotions. I feel nothing at all. My brain tells me what I'm feeling. This means that I haven't dealt with the death of my brother 2 years ago. He was my best friend, my other half, and I feel nothing. I lost my grandmother last year, and I feel nothing about that either. I hate it.

I always feel empty
Since I was little, thinking used to do things to me I didn’t know I could do. Always being overwhelmed by certain feelings I didn’t even know, isolating myself, letting people gaslight me because I didn’t know how to act Human.

I described this disorder shortly in my thesis about autism which I just finished making the presentation on.
Thanks for the video, it's described very clearly and simple.
Friday I'll present my paper. Love from Belgium

I can ABSOLUTELY relate to the first point mentioned about cruising through life on autopilot. While I mostly feel that I AM in control of my life, sometimes I feel that I'm going through each day passively.

Literally because I used to be a really emotional person and I was happy most of the time but than I went through trauma, and OCD, and depression and now I feel nothing. I’m nonchalant about everything.

Just the other night, starting to fall asleep, suddenly I felt a 2 second flush of joy pass through my mind. It has been so long since I felt any real joy, it was kind of shocking. Maybe this explains it.

There is also times when other people who cause this.
It is hard when people always misunderstand you and they make this fog to create this or other mental disorders.
