Answer 1

Answer: Diminished capacity to experience or express emotions

Explanation:

Alexithymia is defined as the inability of a person to identify their emotions and where they are also unable to express them. It has been investigated that one of the reasons why a person is alexithymic is due to brain injury or an emotional learning disorder.

Alexithymic people cannot identify their emotions, they cannot give names to what they are feeling. These types of people have problems when they are in a relationship as the other person may not feel affection on the part of the alexithymic person and does not understand that the person does not act like this because they want to but because of alexithymia.
