    One thing I think should definitely be put out there more loudly is that Alexithymia(emotional blindness) is likely very common among dudes. I’m mostly going off personal experience, and how I’ve had issues identifying my emotions, and how I’ve heard some dudes I’ve talked to straight up just say they think they don’t feel things. I suspect potentially most dudes don’t understand how to detect emotions outside of very intense sadness, anger, etc. and I think that they need that communicated and a path they can maybe follow.
