Alexithymia: living disconnected from your emotions

Celeste cries, but does not feel sadness. He is kind to everyone, but sometimes wonders if he isnʹt a flesh-and-blood artificial intelligence. For years, he has lived cut off from his emotions, unable to identify what heʹs really feeling. Until one day, at the age of fourteen, his tears became uncontrollable: a trigger that made him realize something was wrong. Céleste lives with lʹalexithymia, a difficulty in recognizing and naming emotions, which is thought to affect nearly 10% of the population.
