I think people tend to get too attached to the medical taxonomy which has some clear problems.
In my case I think the rationalization of emotions and the dismissal of irrational emotions is a coping mechanism that was brought about by hypersensitivity. Later on I had brain inflammation (CFS/ME) which inhibits emotional response as well a a host of other hormones. I now have effective medication, but I’d still rather not deal with other people’s feelings.
