Alexithymia flag on the left, simplified version on the right.

Both flags made by me, inspired by my lack of emotional permanence flag (link).

Alexithymia is a difficulty in identifying, differentiating and expressing one's emotions, difficulty in verbally communicating emotions, or sometimes those of others, having a great difficulty identifying body signals. This personality trait is commonly seen among neurodivergent people & autistic people.

In short, the clinical criteria for alexithymia are presented as follows:

Tireless description of physical symptoms;

Difficulty in verbally communicating emotions; repetitive speech;

poor phantasmal and dreamlike production;
