I relate to input (noticing stuff too much, lack of filters, etc.) but not much about reactions (anxiety, pain, etc.)
In otherwords, I have a hypersensitive system yet who acts and behaves like a hyposensitive person. 
But yeah.
It made sense to me. An internal and emotions version that coincides with the dimensions of autistic SPD.
The usual impressions would either EF through emotional intellectual delay, slow processing or some form of BPD.
Yet I'm quite past about focusing taking intensities and noticing subtleties (both sensory and emotional) as opposed to 'protecting' myself and ignoring things respectively.
I'm now more about fuguring internal processing -- it's like akin to smoothening the process of 'digestion' than making 'taste' easier to take.

[color=#0077aa] It seems like now that i'm not longer emotionally blunt i'm better at reading my emotions. This happened a less than a month ago. I'm also better at relating to people. and have learned how to be more compasionate. I also wonder if maybe this does occur but it's unclear about it because of alexithymia and other issues understand emotions.

P.S. what's EF
Executive Functioning. Specifically, self regulation and self monitoring.
Which is also huge in sensory processing.
If it's truly alexithymia, you'd still struggle with expressing and discerning emotions in a long run, as if it's a colorblindness of sort.
You'd likely still had little to no emotionally internal narrative, no matter how well experienced you'll be in distinguishing emotions, no matter how great one's self monitoring and regulation system can be -- emotions are more like symptoms.
But even emotional colorblindness can be worked around and dealt with accordingly.
If you're alexithymic in a sense you're either inexperienced and newly realized emotions (self monitor), or had yet to build prerequisites to process certain emotions and just reached sufficient processing to realize emotions (self regulation)...
Or, like me, just lack the means to express it properly no matter how clear it is in the inside (literally no-words for emotions)...
I believe most people do, autistics just lacks more emotional processing prerequisites and experience, making a good fraction more alexithymic.
And, what happened?
How did your change came to be?

How did your change came to be?I made a post about it when i came back to this forum. and like I think what it is is after being forced to guess what my emotions are based on my actions i'm better on determining it. and I still struggle to explain my feelings as well. I'm saying maybe my emotional reaction to things is higher than most. Atleast that it's a possibility. I'm still a bit fo a skeptic. I'm not sure what to think tbh. I just think it's an interesting theory. I'm not sure what you maen by self regulation and self monitoring. I struggle alot with executive functioning to the point people tell me something and I forget it within the first 30 seconds. Especially instructions. I struggle to express my emotions still.. Like someone tried to ask me how to sum up how i feel and i couldn't.

Based on that post on haven;
It kinda reminds me of my emotional milestone. The letting go and resolving parts is quite similar when I was 16 or so.
I'd say there will be more to come.
When and how, you'll know when you have it.
Self-monitoring means to be aware of one's behavior and internal states.
Poor self monitoring would mean less chance of realizing and acknowledging one's actions, expressing emotions, controlling thoughts...
Self-regulation means to moderate stimuli and handle one's emotions.
Poor self-regulation would mean sensory and emotional overwhelm/underwhelm, which leads to mood issues and then in turn difficult behaviors.
