I think the evidence is mounting that in some circumstances I can be rather slow to process emotions.
Sometimes it is not until the day after something happened that I get angry. During this "something" I keep a placid demeanor. This demeanor is not a strategy or a conscious decision.
Then, the next day, I realize how this very thing gives rise to emotions, often anger.
I'm wondering if it relates to alexithymia. I'm not confused about what I feel, but the feeling may get delayed.
Or maybe it is a combination of:
people pleasing,
autistic inertia,
alexithymia
Just thinking out lout about one of my characteristics here.
