This is something I struggle with. Just because I perceive, feel, and process emotions (both mine and others') differently, and don't show commonly accepted/expected outward expressions of what I'm feeling and thinking, doesn't mean I don't *have* emotions. People reject me for not being 'normal' while accusing me of being the insensitive one. And I'm the one that should be in therapy?
