I recently discovered that I may have Alexithymia through an online test. Is it possible to change? My partner gets angry & upset with me. I really want to improve but I think it will take time. Has anyone got better or is it just about pretending (assuming it’s possible to do that long term). Thank you for any help.

Hi I think the first thing to do is see a counsellor and get a proper diagnosis. You can't rely totally on an online test for this.
I never knew there was such a thing as Alexithymia but have realised this also describes me as well. I can't deal with emotionally close relationships and I have never been married or even lived with a partner. I am going to look for that test now and do it myself. I hope you find some answers. x
