This is me and it is very annoying.

I get a strong negative feeling. Ok, what was that about? Crickets and a strong negative feeling…

I can get a vague sense of “something is wrong” and no amount of querying my own body will make it clearer. I have to find out in a more deliberate way (could I be hungry? How long has it been since I last ate?)

Sometimes I have to check in on myself like I might a crying baby; I start by feeling generally bad. Okay, what’s the issue? Am I hungry? Have I had enough water? Do I need a nap? Do I need to get up and stretch? Am I just feeling anxious? (That last one, if true, starts another barrage of questions.)
