    That seems more of a confusing rant than normal reply, so just ignore it.

    Even though i have alexithymia, it’s not completely disabled, though significantly hampered.
    With most things i do try to go through the list of positives and negatives, within the realms of reason. But from time to time i do make decisions that i don’t know why i made those, of course i can observe those and after doing those repeatedly try to figure out some reason why I’m doing those.

    So yeah making a decision generally does take time and analyzing, but from time to time i can do those instantly. Which i assume are done using intuition, but i cant be sure as i have memory issues as well so it’s possible I’m using previous knowledge just not remembering it.
    Though technically isn’t that what intuition is? Automatically making a decision without conscious taught? Is so then i use it actually a lot, most of my day to day activities are automated this way.
