Reddit reviews Trust Your Vibes: Secret Tools for Six-Sensory Living

You appear to be quite a thinker and somebody aware of what you're experiencing. It reminds me of the people in /r/intp. I realize the mbti is another model you probably find entertaining as a starting point in understanding yourself and others, but not an endpoint that will explain anything. I too see many leaks in this model. If you're one of these people who ruminate a lot, I hope you consider it as one of your strengths. People in /r/intp seem to like staying in their thoughts, but I'm inclined to believe a thinker who brings balance to his/her experience by rolling with whim or instinct, - going with the flow - sometimes is a person bringing all cylinders to fire, both sides of the brain if you will, and can achieve goals more easily than people who only feel and people who only think. I bet you'd be very entertained by Sonia Choquette's book, Trust Your Vibes. I emphasize "entertained". You will be frustrated at the lack of science, but at the same time, she encourages experimentation with what you sense without proof. It's your thinking mind that will protect you from doing anything stupid.

Alexithymia is a scary word; I'll admit to never having seen it prior to your using it. I did give it a quick look at Wikipedia. With that in mind, what I would suggest is that if you don't feel anything, perhaps, it's because there is nothing you should feel. Maybe it's an issue for people who tell you things like this. Those same people also know clearly that it's what you do that demonstrates your values and shows your true colors. I'm sure you'd agree that everybody isn't meant to be expressive or posessed by moods; the world needs stable people who aren't easily moved, and your being a scientist suggests you are gifted and not flawed. That quality can be a real gift to humanity; not a psychological problem. I admit to not knowing you and, perhaps, showing my ignorance. Anyway, perhaps, these are things you may find helpful to consider as you face your tomorrows nonetheless.
