Really curious to learn how you perceive emotions. Maybe I'm reading into this too much, but this feels like the start of discussing an aphantasia analog.

To attempt to answer your question, I don't know how to describe it. Until now, I would have attempted to use the language of "physical metaphor" that I had heard and read, but if those aren't metaphors... I have no idea how to describe something that is to me, by definition, indescribable. I can only really describe the effects I suppose, that being angry makes me desire violence, being sad or afraid makes me want to hide, etc.

  • Thank you for taking the time to share. I really enjoy learning how other people experience the world. There are so many times when I've made an assumption based on my own life and was greeted with a surprise when I came to learn something new.
