Alexithymia is not frequently talked about on fora like this one because individuals who suffer from it tend not to be very expressive. It's not rare at all, though.

I think that a lot of anxiety problems come from growing up in an insecure environment, so it is from experience.

I don't disagree with you. But this is not necessarily the case. Some people are born nervous. A lot of people go to therapy not because they've been abused or because they've lived a crappy life, but because they just have a messed-up brain (raises hand).

I believe you and I take no offense at what you've said, but what you said did kind of come across as a sweeping generalization.
