Am i too young for this?
07.07.2014 by haley

Im 15 years old and i just discovered Alexi and what it means. I first wanted to learn more about this because my parents, friends, and people I've been in relationships with have told me i don't show emotions well or i don't care about peoples feelings. But the truth is, i don't even know what emotions are going through me or why, let alone connect with someone else's emotions and talk to them about mine. I took the questionnaire and scored high. i just want to know if I'm too young to have this or even know if i have it or if I'm just being paranoid.

I don't think age matters

I was wondering the same thing for myself but from what you have described it does sound like you have Alexi and I'm fairly certain that age matters in terms of whether or not you have it or not. Although I am not an expert and could be completely wrong.

that's me

I'm fifteen too. I kind of also thought that I was too young to be this messed up, but the definition makes too much sense. indeed, I think that I have been this way for years already, and had just refused to acknowledge it. if it makes you feel better, half of all lifetime mental disorders begin by age 14, so you're actually late.

I'm 15 too. I got a 168. I don't think age is a factor in this. All of us are quite lost. We have answers but we don't know where to look

I don't think age matters that much

I'm 19 (wasn't officially diagnosed but score 148 on the test) and for what i understood some people have alex and some develop it so for what i think if you have it at a young age and feel like you were always that way it probably means you won't be able to "escape" from it but i don't think it changes the diagnosys

I'm currently 13 and I scored 173 which is pretty high. So I feel nothing not even an single emotion just plain white like a blank sheet of paper. I cant take it anymore and nobody understand me. I wish it was back to normal you know?


I hate it to be different and have no friends. When I laugh it feels empty like when you talk

Might be the result of trauma for you. Get to a good psychologist.
