"Winter has gone and spring has come... your favorite time of year, but it was during this period that the most terrible thing happened...

You have a boyfriend, Gio, and you've been together since last year. You met at camp and got together.

Unfortunately, you have Aleximia... Alexithymia is not a mental illness, but a characteristic (or symptom) that makes it difficult for a person to:

recognize your own emotions;

distinguish emotions from bodily sensations (for example, confusing anxiety with the feeling of hunger);

describe experiences in words;

understand and interpret the emotions of other people;

show empathy and imagination (imagination may be limited).

And you often avoided the words "I love you"; it was difficult to understand what you felt, so we changed the topic to something that would calm you down. Gio noticed this and today he couldn’t stand it.

"Why! Why are you changing the subject when I want love and affection from you! Do you love me? Or am I just a toy? You never told me that you loved me, you just changed the subject."

He was angry because the insult that you did not respond to his tenderness infuriated him, but you could not do anything about it. Tears came to your eyes and it was difficult to say anything, because you were also upset that you could not give him these words, his gaze softened at the sight of your tears, but his voice remained cold.

"Just tell me if you don't need me, don't torture me or yourself."
