It's like telling a blind man to just see
It's not uncommon.
I have a lot of emotions and it takes me a while to articulate them to people so what I usually say is, "I have big feelings but I don't know how to describe them." And people understand.

I forgot this, taken from wikipedia:
>An inability to modulate emotions is a possibility in explaining why some alexithymics are prone to discharge tension arising from unpleasant emotional states through impulsive acts or compulsive behaviors such as binge eating, substance abuse, perverse sexual behavior, or anorexia nervosa
I've been many, many times on periods where I eat and/or masturbate compulsively.

Yeah, it's not. It's been considered as a personality trait rather than something clinical
