Everyone thinks I say this just to be difficult but I only say it because its true. Everyone I have told this to (including on this board and also my two Ts that I have had) have gotten irritated with me when I said it. I don't know why. I'm not sure why its such a horrible thing.

I think you're right, there aren't any words for sensations. And I think
Stopdog is right, sometimes it helps to try to put the sensations into words as best as people can.
Sorry your t's got irritated with you. I know it totally sucks when that happens.
Sometimes people might get irritated because they don't understand that you aren't used to thinking about feelings as much as they do. I think about feelings a lot. I didn't understand my ex-bf was so confused about feelings and so I didn't believe him sometimes
. After a while I realized he really was confused.
