I'm Not In Touch With My Feelings

Today's Weird Mental Disorder: I Feel Nothing. No, Really.
Posted by Randy Dotinga

I just stumbled across a blog called The Neurocritic, run by a 26-ish guy who declares (on the main page, even) that he "descended into a spiral of drug abuse and prostitution" as a teenager.

Huh.

Anyway, he has a post today on brain-scan research into something called alexithimia, which has nothing to do with anyone named Alex.

. . .

Women might think they've seen this phenomenon before -- in every man they've ever met. I'd be offended by that stereotype, except I'm not in touch with my feelings.

Cool. Really.
