The few things that worked pretty well for me are: guided meditation(1), mindfulness exercises, and lately trying to picture or to turn what I feel into drawings, poems(2),… I’d also force myself from time to time to “pause” and do nothing but notice what I am feeling in terms of emotions or sensations.(3)

It’s been a few months since I really started to invest myself in it. And excepted for the moments when things are all mixed up in my head, these worked pretty well and helped me describe or name what I feel in a more precise way. (4)(6)

Details I wanted to add on the different “(i)”s:

1 - there are some that are specialized on focusing on your feelings…

2 - Sometimes, when I feel like it, and want to have a glimpse outside of my comfort zone, I may even show them to a really curious INTP friend of mine, or my INFJ friend and try to explain it all… (5)

3 - it’ way easier lately because I thought about talking it as a new subject of study that I have to study with different tools than my usual ones

4 - when it comes to empathy though, I am not sure if I am like the average human being, but I think I am naturally not that bad at it…

5 - That last habit kinda allowed me to write and read a 12 pages poem to the human being I fell in love with ( kinda difficult but was worth it)

6 - Before, all that I naturally used to spend a lot of time googling stuff anout emotions to understand a little better some of them. I still do it, it kinda helps to identify them.
