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.

One wonders whether our "freakish" autistic reactions are actually the healthy, natural ones.
I'm completely inhibited also, from having my nose hit by a newspaper one too many times, even by British standards

I don't understand why other people aren't as angry as I am at the state of things.
As I understand it, inequality in the US and UK today is worse than it was during the Guilded Age
