My girlfriend will look at things eg. Colours, items, clothes, food etc and point out all the things she likes. For me those things just exist and I don’t have much of an opinion on them. Like theres 100 paint colours them but they’re all fine, how am I meant to know whether any are better than the others.
I am also not known to get visually excited about things, I got a skydive for my 30 birthday and I think everyone was disappointed with my reaction even though inside I was very excited to do it.
I empathize with the apparent “lack of emotion”. My father and mother in law sprung for a trip to Japan for my husband and I as a wedding gift, and I was so shocked and excited because I couldn’t believe it was true that I didn’t have it on my face.
FIL thought I was disappointed because I didn’t squeal and jump around like someone on The Price is Right. It was my wedding night, I was already overstimulated from that.
I have to pretend to be stupidly excited for things so people don’t get the wrong idea…
