Alexithymia is a word used to describe an inability to identify and describe certain emotions in one's self. It's sometimes referred to as "emotional blindness." We see it in people who have been traumatized, in those who are depressed, or abuse substances or have other addictions (often gamers, for one). While it is not a very widely researched topic, those who have studied it believe men are more likely than women to be out of touch with their emotions.
This is the first in a series of videos I'll be posting about the topic
