others 47 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,520 if you're noticing that you're pushing 48 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,520 people away more than normal or if a 49 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,040 friend is withdrawing from others 50 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,360 it can be a sign of something more 51 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,400 number three 52 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,880 you have a hard time with

66 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,960 easily on the other hand a person with 67 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,719 alexithymia wouldn't be able to 68 00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:02,799 distinguish if it was fear or excitement 69 00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:03,759 causing it 70 00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:05,119 not knowing your emotions makes it 71 00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:06,880 extremely difficult to know where to 72
