Due to alexithymia/avoidant attachment I find it hard to identify what I need. A trick I use is to ask myself what feels like a relief:

Does it feel like relief when you don’t have to talk?

Does it feel like relief when the noise stops/the lights are turned off?

Does it feel like relief when you don’t have to look someone in the face?

Does it feel like relief when people stop touching you?

Please know that what feels good and doesn’t feel good for you matters. The fact that your needs and wants don’t follow the norm doesn’t make them less true. It doesn’t make them less important.
