thank you for "alexithymia". TIL the name for the thing that has been driving me insane. I swear that (with rare exceptions) as far as my verbal mind is concerned I only experience two emotions: "I'm so happy" and "I'm so tired". :-(

It really comes up with so many different things, in so many different forms.
I think most modern people, city people especially, are very nearly (or actually) clinically alexithymic in some ways.

Unexpected, dissociated feelings.
